Formatting in data

[apjanco]

Need to update the html_to_items script to retain HTML formatting in various fields. This formatting can be saved to the db as string field. Would be better to save to HTML field (if that's a thing) or richtext. See deep 5077 for example

rather than get_text(), decode_contents() will return a string that includes the <i> and <b> tags. The a tags will their old javascript hrefs will still need to be removed (but retain the link text)
