I’m not sure if this is a bug, but at the very least it’s an odd inconsistency.

Take the following content as an example:  
` **one** *two* ~~three~~ <em>four</em> <kbd>five</kbd> <del>six</del> <ruby>seven<rt>eight</rt></ruby> nine<sup>ten</sup>`

Which renders as:  
**one** _two_ ~~three~~ _four_ five ~~six~~ seveneight nineten

When you mark a post as the solution, it immediately shows up with markdown and HTML in the first post:

However, after refresh it shows up without markdown or HTML:

If there are no significant downsides, showing the solution with the markdown and HTML in tact would be ideal. This is especially important for `ruby`, `sup`, and similar tags that have multiple components, as they look quite strange when the HTML is stripped.

This is fixed now!
