metadata export

[FerencNagy]

I've filled the metadata for an mxd in Catalog.
When I publish this meta to the Geoportal, the Details page can't read the meta properly.

For example, the Abstract field looks like this:

<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>abs</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV>

Organization Role: 007    >>> but i've added some text in Catalog, not these numbers...

The boundary box not even working...


Can somebody help with this?

Did you ever figure this out?

I've noticed the same thing when I write a description in metadata for a layer and then view the description for that layer in the layer properties dialog in ArcMap.  The dialog shows the description from the metadata but includes the HTML tags (<div>, <span>, etc.) even though I didn't specify any tags or use any formatting when I wrote the metadata. 

I think this is a bug. I think the Description on the layer properties dialog should either parse or ignore HTML tags.  Same goes for other places in the ArcGIS family of products where metadata is used for descriptions.

I'm having the same issue, has anyone since a fix for this? Are you using GDB 10.0 or less?
