Italicized headings in CDR do not display as expected on live site

[lburack]

Issue description

The CDR allows for italics in headings (section titles), but the italics does not display on the live Cancer.gov site. The italics does not display in Publish Preview either.

A CDR user reported the problem with this example page, where BRCA should be italicized in the "Clinical Management of Carriers of BRCA Pathogenic Variants" heading/section title

FWIW, Drupal allows for italics in headings and it does display as expected (here's a Drupal page with italicized headings: https://www.cancer.gov/about-cancer/causes-prevention/risk/infectious-agents)

ESTIMATE TBD

What's the expected result?

• text that is italicized in the system (CDR or Drupal) should display in italics on the live site

What's the actual result?

• section titles in the CDR that use italics do not display the text as italicized; the text displays in the normal font. This is only on the section title (h2); subsequent headings appear to display italicized text

FYI @bkline - William alerted me of this issue so I logged this ticket. But I am now realizing you all may have a different process for logging CDR related bugs. I didn't want this issue to get lost in the sea of my chat messages so I've logged it here. CC @amydugan

This is indeed a DP issue. The filters are providing the information to display the gene name in italics but the field displaying the section title has that information stripped. I'm guessing that the "Section Title" field in Drupal only allows ASCII. This is the title coming from the filter:

Clinical Management of Carriers of BRCA Pathogenic Variants

and this is the title displayed in the edit page: Clinical Management of Carriers of BRCA Pathogenic Variants

Oh well, GH is converting the entered HTML.

The requirements tell us we can only store plain text in that field, so I removed the bug tag.

The field that displays the section title can only handle plain text - that's why the requirements are asking for plain text here. The section title for the document that @lburack mentions is using a "Heading" field which does allows minor formatting. Someone will have to make a decision if the properties for the "Section Title" field used for the PDQ summaries should be modified or if we need to tell the user that markup in section titles cannot be done.
