Display description of an invite as HTML

Open sascha08-15 opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

The links, e.g. a MS Teams invite, are not shown correctly as I see plain text instead of HTML. This reduces usability and makes me consider other solutions than Nextcloud.

Describe the solution you'd like

I would like to see the description of the invite as rendered HTML, not plain text. All links can then just be opened as in other programs, e.g. outlook

IIRC Outlook does dirty stuff by putting HTML in plain text fields. The proper way to have rich-text descriptions is through https://github.com/nextcloud/calendar/issues/3234.

As I said, Microsoft Outlook doesn't follow standards properly and abuses this field. Part of #3234 could be to try to interpret Description as HTML as a fallback if there's no Styled-Description, but probably only as read-only. In any case it requires proper sanitation on backend's side first.
