Executive Summary field in new report shows formatting characters

Created a new report on a dashboard to display our Status Report - Executive Summary field but all of the formatting characters are showing and makes it difficult to read.  Is there a way to show the formatted text or hide the formatting characters?  See attached screenshot.

This particular field is an HTML field type and I don't think there is a way you can remove these formatters from the system in the report view; there is a way to remove them if you export into Excel

Having a similar issue.

I think a follow on question is.

Is there a way to configure the attributes field of this HTML field, or creating a UI policy? 

So that we avoid any special characters being added when summaries are written so you prevent this problem from happening in the first place.  Is that possible?
