 The theme description (that's displayed in the left hand panel when you
 view a theme's details) on the theme install screen is output in the
 template using `{{` double curly braces `}}` which encodes the output
 instead of outputting it as HTML.

 The result is that ampersands show up as `&` instead of `&`. You can
 see this in action if you view details of "Alexandria" in the "Featured"
 tab.

 Is it safe to use `{{{` triple braces `}}}` instead? It should be, but
 could do with a second opinion as I'm not sure how much sanitising is done
 in the theme repo.
