 * Since upgrading to v1.10.0 I have noticed an issue when adding or updating markers.
 * I added a marker and it wouldn’t display whatever was in the description.
 * I checked in the visual tab and the information was there. I then checked in 
   the text tab and the input had been sanitised and special characters like ” had
   been escaped with a \
 * For example, if I add
 * `<a href="some link" title="some title">some text</a>`
 * once the marker is saved it would sanitise and escape it as
 * `<a href=\"some link\" title=\"some title\">some text</a>`
 * causing the description not to be shown.
 * I had to go into phpMyAdmin and update the description field there to remove 
   the \ so that the marker description would be displayed properly.
 * This is also true of markers that are subsequently updated. I have to do the 
   same.
 * Not everyone will have the option to do it this way so this needs looked at urgently.
 * This was not an issue in the previous versions.
