    • Type: Bug
    • Status: Closed
    • Priority: Minor
    • Resolution: Fixed
    • Affects Version/s: 2.1.1
    • Fix Version/s: 2.1.6, 2.2.3
    • Component/s: Calendar

    • Testing Instructions:

      1) Go to http://moodle/calendar/view.php
      2) Click 'New Event'
      3) Add a calendar event for tomorrow with name 'test' and description 'testing 123' - add some html elements to the description (e.g. bold tags around 123)
      4) Click 'iCal' icon to export events as ical

      Now you can try a few things to examine the result - simplest is to open the iCal export in a text editor and examine the description field - it should not have html in it. You could also use a calendar client to do this (e.g. Apple iCal shows the event with the html tags inline)

      Description

      Outlook, Apple iCal, Thunderbird with Lightning and Google Calendar shows HTML tags in summary/description.
      Maybe RFC2445 doesn't allow HTML here at all.
      So i changed export_execute.php - see Testing Instructions.
      See Screenshot for Outlook2010 before after after patching export_execute.php.
