      The standard sections edit form allows HTML Tags to be saved as the title of the section but the title is stripped of HTML tags before rendering and also the quick edit form strips the tags before saving to the db.

       

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Create a course with Topics Format.
      2. Edit one of the sections of the course and enter custom name for the title with some HTML tags.
      3. Hit Save
      4. Return to the course page
      5. Turn Editing On and quick edit the previously edited section.
      6. See the tags appearing only in edit mode.
      7. Hit enter
      8. See the tags being stripped.

       

      This is causing a problem during a backup restore operation where the title have HTML Tags in them.

      To replicate the restore error:

      1. Edit a topic name via the 'Edit' -> 'Edit topic'
      2. Check the custom box
      3. Wrap the name in a <div>
      4. Save.
      5. Backup the course
      6. Try to restore the course into a new course and notice the error below.

      If the tags are removed then the restore goes smoothly.
