DOCman allows to write document's descriptions with the WYSIWYG editor and uses and saves correctly the HTML tags. However DOCman removes all the HTML tags when it displays the files description in the frontend. Here we the solution for this situation.

Edit the file joomla_root/administrator/components/com_docman/classes/DOCMAN_model.class.php at line 215 you'll find this code:

$this->objFormatData->dmdescription     = mosHTML::cleanText($objDBDoc->dmdescription);

To fix this behavior change the code to:

$this->objFormatData->dmdescription     = $objDBDoc->dmdescription;
