Event pages need to display description as HTML

[malemburg]

The calendar teams uses HTML for formatting the event descriptions.

At the moment, the descriptions are displayed as text.

Example from https://www.python.org/events/python-user-group/95/

Guadalajara, Mexico PUG
25 Feb. from 1am to 3am, 2014

<a href="http://wiki.cabal.mx/wiki/PythonCabal/">Guadalajara PUG</a>

This applies to both the user group calendar and the events calendar.

I've committed a data migration fixing this in d698303

Flavio: I don't know how the site pulls in the calendar events from the Google calendars, but I could imagine that the script doing the sync will also need to be updated to set the description markup to 'html'.

Thanks.

@malemburg the script already parses them as html: https://github.com/python/pythondotorg/blob/master/events/importer.py#L62

The issue is just for events that were imported before 17d23b5

For some reason, the problem has resurfaced now, e.g.

https://www.python.org/events/python-user-group/174/

https://www.python.org/events/python-user-group/168/

https://www.python.org/events/python-user-group/173/

Note: These are new entries that have been added recently.

Closing again and opening a new issue instead: #435.
