# Not showing HTML?

 * I have a shortcode pulling posts from a specific category:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       [RSSImport feedurl="..." displaydescriptions="true" before_desc="<img class='feed_img' src='%picture_url%' width='80px' alt=''/><div class='feed_desc'>" view="true" after_desc="</div>" use_simplepie="true"]
       ```
   
 * I have included in the shortcode ‘view=”true”‘ and ‘html=”true”‘ but neither 
   have any effect on the resulting display. Each item in the original feed contains
   this markup:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       <description><![CDATA[<img ... /> [description text] <p class="read-more-container"><a ... >Read more</a></p&>></description>
       ```
   
 * I especially want the p.read-more-container and its link to remain in the feed.
   But all I get from the shortcode is:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       <div class="feed_desc"> [description text] … Read more … </div>
       ```
   
 * What am I doing wrong here?
