Project -> Save as GPX produce "&lt;" instead of "<" for POI <desc> tags

[SylvainDeCadix]

Describe the bug

In workspace, Project -> "Save as". The GPX produced contains "<" instead of "<" for POI tag.
I've not check if this append for other tags.

What have you done to circle down the problem?

Just open the GPX produce in a text editor

To Reproduce

1. Have a project with POI that have descriptions
2. In the workspace, right-clic on the project "Sauvegarder sous" (Save as) Choose where to save the GPX, Save it
3. Open the GPX in a text editor
4. See error

Expected behavior

"" instead of "<desc>"

What is the bug? Do you have any problems with this conversion?

Looking with a text editor shows for a comment and description e.g.:

  <cmt>&lt;div>
&lt;p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;">comment&lt;/p>&lt;/div></cmt>
  <desc>&lt;div>
&lt;p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;">Description&lt;/p>&lt;/div></desc>

The tags <cmt> and <desc> are correct and valid.

You can rename the extension of the file from .gpx to .xml and look at the file in an internet browser. There you will see that all is shown correct:

<cmt><div> <p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;">comment</p></div></cmt>
<desc><div> <p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;">Description</p></div></desc>

As long this doesn't lead to misbehavior of a GIS application this is not a bug, imho.

Ok.
I do textual transformation of QMapShack POI GPX files with PERL pattern maching to make it compatible with Oruxmaps. I expected textual consistency.
