Translatable text on Post a Giveaway form

On the Post a Giveaway form:
https://www.librarything.com/er_book.php?program=giveaway

There are two guidance notes about use of HTML:
(Under the Book description box) The following HTML tags are allowed:...
(Under the Giveaway description box) Include any info about this giveaway... The following HTML tags are allowed:...

The first of these behaves correctly in terms of translatable text (defining just "The following HTML tags are allowed:" as translatable), however in the second note the translatable text encompasses the list of HTML tags too. This causes the translation not to work, seemingly the HTML code gets interpreted when the page generates.

For example, currently on the French version of the page: https://www.librarything.fr/er_book.php?program=giveaway
The second note renders as: Les balises HTML suivantes sont autorisées : , , , , , , , , , , (new line) , , , , (new line) , , , , , , ,
Similar problems for the page on other language LTs.

If the second note text could be reconfigured to match how the first is set, this should be solveable. Thanks!

Hi Nevov, thanks for the report and sorry for the trouble! We're in the midst of redoing those pages, so the issue will be resolved once those are released (very soon). Thanks for your patience in the meantime.

Closing, as the bugged pages were entirely replaced during the ER redesign and relaunch, so the bug no longer exists.
