HTML widget behaving strangely.

I would like for (non-technical) people to be able to stylize text with the HTML widget. It's pretty straight-forward when creating content for the first time, but if you go back to edit, the actual HTML tags appear instead of formatted text.

Furthermore, a new <p> tag is created around the existing <p> tag each time you return to edit.

Is this expected behavior?

Resolved... For others in a similar situation: you can include a list of attributes for the HTML widget. "code" also seems to be a legal tag/default behavior when no list is specified, which will result in the problem described above. Specifying which tags you want as described here will stop this behavior.
