The section view plugin allows one to have multiple sections on a page with a standard jenkins job list. Each Jenkins Job list can have a description.  The description has html. Prior to a recent release the description was parsed and displayed as html.  In 2.64 the description is no longer parsed, it is displayed as text.

The issue is with the Sectioned View Plugin, the last release changed the way display name worked. Perhaps the intent was to not support html for the display name so this will be viewed as ok or it is supposed to work and there is no test that verifies operation from release to release. If html is supported for the display name, then there should be a test that verifies that it displays as html in a browser. I am not familiar with the jenkins test framework for testing of operation from the browser.
