 * What did you want to fix exactly? Something on the category view, or single post
   view? Please be specific, not sure what you need.. 🙂

 * Yes the category view. So that the text is formatted the the same way as it is
   in the posts. Example H1, space, and so on. The text looses its formatting in
   the category

 * Looks like the excerpts of the posts in the category view are bing stripped of
   formatting (i.e. html/css), this is quite common for themes to do this. You will
   need to edit your categories theme file and take a look there to correct the 
   formatting issue.

       <?php is_tag(); if ( have_posts() ) : ?>
       	<?php $post = $posts[0]; // Hack. Set $post so that the_date() works. ?>
   
       	<?php if ( is_category() ) : ?>
               <h1 class="home-title"><?php printf( __('%s ', 'arras'), single_cat_title() ) ?></h1>
