HTML in job descriptions on jenkins

Question

I have two Jenkins instances running. An old (legacy) one at version 1.614 and a new one with 1.633.

In the old one it is possible to use HTML in the job description (it even does syntax highlighting editing it). The new one doesn't. HTML content is escaped and shown as plain text. I could not find a change in the release notes explaining this behavior. Is there a configuration that I'm missing?

Answer 1

Follow these steps:

Step 1- go to manage Jenkins

Step 2-  go to global security configuration option

Step 3- go to markup formatter and select safe HTML
