   One example:
   

   <?php
   //display category name/description for use in category template
   if ( is_category() ) {
   $cat = get_query_var('cat');
   $category=get_category($cat);
   echo '<p>Category Title/Name: '. $category->name . '</p>';
   echo '<p>Category Description: '. $category->description . '</p>';
   }
   ?>

   I'm looking for the same fix.

   I want to edit whatever file generates category_description();

   Add:
   

   ...remove_filter('term_description','wpautop'); in your theme's functions.php...
