Incorrect parsing of HTML when viewing an Equipment Object

[ncmaas]

When viewing the details page for an Equipment Object, the "p" "small" and "/br" HTML tags are visible.   also shows up literally, rather than as the space it is supposed to create.

This has to do with how Rails 3 treats all strings as not html safe (as opposed to Rails 2, which trusted everything by default). Thus all strings in the view are by default sanitized.

To fix this, you'll need to mark the appropriate strings using the '.html_safe' method.

So, there are several places where this same error occurs. Let's consolidate them all into one issue: here!

When viewing an equipment model's show page, "This is a " is surrounded by HTML. Solution: change line 4 of app/views/equipment_models to be <%=@equipment_model.formatted_description.html_safe %>

When viewing an equipment model's show page, the serial numbers were formatted incorrectly. Solution: change line 102 to <%= "
  Serial #: #{equipment_object.serial}".html_safe unless equipment_object.serial.blank? %>

I've fixed this in all the places I've managed to find it. yay!
