Add event to Outlook, missing location field and escaped HTML

[Anthony]

When adding a new event and save to Outlook, not all contents are saved. For example, location is not saved. See screenshot below, the body of the event has HTML codes in there.

Can you give a listing of the fields that aren't saving?

Shane, can you take this one? If you can't find any fields missing other than location, just fix that one while waiting on the complete list from Anthony. Change the template to do the tal:content structure dance on the text for the second part of the bug report.

The location field was commented out for an unknown reason. I uncommented it. I also added the contact_name, contact_email, attendees, and attachments to the ICS export.

Two issues remain:

- In Karl 2, the description field is apparently converted to (re)StructuredText. I'm not sure what code Plone uses to accomplish that.

- Karl 2 generates a "class" field. I think its value is either PUBLIC or PRIVATE. I didn't include that field yet in Karl 3.

I believe we have a description extractor, used to display a snippet
in search results:

from karl.content.views.blog import extract_description

Nearly every module uses that when adding/editing content. It seems
that calendar_events also uses this to stash description on each object.

I doubt the class thing is useful.

Ah-ha, calendar events already have a description attribute derived from the text attribute. Finished in revision 2854.
