Adding HTML or CSS to Category Description in Woo Commerce

Hi Kriesi,

Currently, when one writes a description for a category (wp-admin > WC > Edit Category), any html or css is stripped from the description field.

I see by viewing the source of a Woo Commerce product archive page that currently the description defaults to a paragraph inside H1 tags, such as

<div id="av_product_description" class="avia-section main_color avia-section-large 
avia-no-border-styling avia-full-stretch av-parallax-section 
av-section-color-overlay-active avia-bg-style-parallax container_wrap fullsize" 
data-section-bg-repeat="stretch" style='color:#dd3333;'><div class="av-parallax 
avia-full-stretch" data-avia-parallax-ratio="0.3"><div class="av-parallax-inner 
av-parallax-woo" style="background-image: url(https://domain/wp-content/uploads/image.png);
 main_color background-attachment: scroll; background-position: 50% 50%; 
background-repeat: no-repeat;"></div></div><div class="av-section-color-overlay-wrap">
<div class="av-section-color-overlay" style="opacity: 0.5; background-color: #ffffff; "></div>
<div class="container"><main class="template-page content av-content-full alpha
units"><h1><p>This is a description of this category. This is a description of this 
category. This is a description of this category.</p>
</h1></main></div></div></div>

My question is: is there a way to (1) remove the <h1> and <p> markup, while (2) also allowing the description field in wp-admin > WC > Edit Category to accept new html or css markup without removing it upon saving? I would just like to this area to be more flexible by adding custom styles and layout.

Thanks!
