[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Missing text from between HMTL tags in Public Interface

[Lara Friedman-Shedlov]

Thanks, Mark.  We've been experiencing this same problem as Kari.

A similar issue we've noticed is that ASpace seems to ignore EAD <table>
elements (and their children like <tgroup>, <tbody>, <row> and <entry>) in
notes like Biographical / Historical.  In this case the text does show up
in the public interface, but it is unformatted.  See for example
http://archives.lib.umn.edu/repositories/7/resources/959  -- look at the
last paragraph in the historical sketch.  It should appear in 3 columns
(see http://special.lib.umn.edu/findaid/html/ymca/yusa0009x2x40.phtml), but
instead it's a solid block of unformatted text.

Is this also on the radar or is this a separate issue?
