I have a list that contains a multiline column with column called description that is using Enhanced Rich Text. I have a Content Query Web part set to search the list and return the Title and the Description. The description is coming back in plain text. I have tried the following code but I think I'm missing something.

var contentBody = $getItemValue(ctx, "Body");

        <div class="burke-contentPageContainer" id="_#= containerId =#_" data-displaytemplate="ItemGenericContent">
            <div class="burke-contentPageDataContainer" id="_#= dataContainerId =#_">
                <h1 id="_#= titleId =#_"> _#= contentTitle =#_</h1>
                <div class="burke-contentHtml" title="" id="_#= bodyId =#_" > _#=STSHtmlDecode(contentBody.value)=#_</div>
                <div id="_#= attachmentsId =#_">_#=linkMarkup=#_</div>
            </div>
        </div>

Hi Steven,

I am suspecting this is not related to CQWP issue. This is related to column property issue. 

Please recheck the description column properties. 

Refer this: http://sharepoint.stackexchange.com/questions/128981/display-template-render-html-in-list-item

Seems no Issue with CQWP.
