Just looking for some history on the output of category_description()
I have categories whose "description" fields are formatted with rich text and I'm trying to understand the differences in WP version with respect to the output of this method so that I can do a version check if necessary to implement desired output.
For example, before 3.0.1, it appears that category_description() returned the output stripped of any html markup. However, with the current 3.3.1 release, the output appears to be raw.

Reset to default 2Actually HTML is stripped on input, using wp_filter_kses function hooked into pre_term_description filter. So if this hook isn't removed HTML would be stripped.
