category_description() wraps return value in '<p>' tags

[Rob Walker]

Calls to category_description() should return only the text or provide options for user supplied wrap tag.

It appears that the '<p>' tag is added in apply_filter( 'term_description' ) which is called from taxonomy.php: sanitize_term_field().

Hi Rob,

This is not a bug.

You can remove 'wpautop' function from 'term_description' filter.
remove_filter( 'term_description', 'wpautop' );
