Well, first of all be aware that this is extremely non-standard behaviour.
You normally can't embed HTML tags within HTML tags in this manner.
However, if you want this as a site-specific kludge, you can do this by
changing the following line in htsearch/Display.cc's Display::excerpt()
method (at line 1118 in unpatched 3.1.5 code):
encodeSGML(head_string);
to
if (!use_meta_description) encodeSGML(head_string);

OK, so there were no corresponding changes to htsearch, as it used the same
database field. I assumed that in the kludge above.
