Show images in idea preview

The out of the box code removes html when truncating the description for the Ideas list widget.  The html including images can be retained by changing the widget code.

Locate the part of the widget code that is rendering the truncated Description for the idea

$core_v2_language.Truncate($idea.Description(), $excerptSize, "...")

And update it to incude the MaintainHtmlFormatting option.  That will retain html elements include images when truncating the description.

$core_v2_language.Truncate($idea.Description(), $excerptSize, "%{ Ellipsis = '…', MaintainHtmlFormatting = 'true' }")
