RSS Polling and html / manual add events not working together?

Contribute Bug

AI-generated summary

The user Casus is experiencing an issue with the Discourse Calendar plugin, where manually added events to RSS topic posts are not being displayed as widgets, but instead show raw HTML. This issue is also observed when trying to add images to the topic. The user is seeking clarification on whether this is normal behavior for the plugin and if there’s a workaround.

Self-hosting, version Discourse 3.5.0.beta6-dev with RSS Polling 0.0.1 and Discourse Calendar 0.5 plugins. I’d like to manually add events to certain RSS topic posts.

When I edit the topic and add the event, the event is picked up by the upcoming events calendar but the widget doesn’t get added to the topic. Only the raw HTML is displayed in the post despite the preview showing the widget.

I’ve noticed the same thing happens if you try to add an image to the topic as well (show the HTML instead of the image). Is this normal behavior for this plugin? Is there some way around this?
