Bug Description

View descriptions have a WYSIWYG editor. Thus, to be consistent, Collections and Plans should also have a WYSIWYG editor. Additionally, the task descriptions in a plan should also get the visual editor.

At some point we had talked about allowing admins (if possible institution admins) to decide whether to allow a visual editor or not. I can't find such a setting right now, but thought it is somewhere.

An issue here is that the collection description only seems to be shown in the Collections list. In the equivalent list for Views, HTML tags are stripped out and the description is displayed as plain text - the only time the description is displayed with formatting is when you're viewing the page. As far as I can tell the collection description isn't displayed in the same way, so allowing HTML wouldn't have any effect (you wouldn't be able to see the formatted text anywhere).

The collection description should also be shown when you view the collection.

The description is not supposed to have lots of content anymore but be more for meta information, esp. when we are pulling that into a modal. So we shouldn't need a WYSIWYG editor anymore that suggests that images etc. can be used as all of that should go into the content area.
