When you create a new topic based on a template topic - and the template topic contains html - it gets destroyed because all the < and > chars become html entities (gt and lt).

This breaks a lot of our applications where the templates have just a little bit of smart features.

This is an urgent one for me to get fixed.

To reproduce make a simple topic TestTemplate and put some blabla < blabla > in it.

Create a new topic based on this TestTemplate and view the result in edit mode. Destroyed!

It was a red hering. It was not valid html. It was the email format using < and > that got mangled and I can work around that. And it is working like it was in 1.1.9 so no actions required
