Version 1.4x has brought many great features to Magento and the new way of handling themes is greatly welcomed and will encourage users to create their own iteration of the demo themes rather than editing the core code. However, a few bugs have slipped through..


If you are seeing something like:

In the additional product information section in Magento 1.4+ you are seeing the result of a bug as reported here :

http://www.magentocommerce.com/bug-tracking/issue?issue=9577

However, a quick fix is to

edit your template version of : /app/design/frontend/default/yourtemplate/template/catalog/product/view/attributes.phtml

and replace line 47:

<td class="data"><?php echo $_helper->productAttribute($_product, $_data['value'], $_data['code']) ?></td>

with:

  <td class="data"><?php echo html_entity_decode($_helper->productAttribute($_product, $_data['value'], $_data['code'])); ?> </td>

Keep an eye on the bug fix and updates as a fix in the future may throw problems that you will have to undo.
