**Issue Description:**

In the list or overview view, the text appears as plain text and does not respect the original formatting of the term definitions. The formatting is correctly displayed when clicking on an entry or while editing.

**Explanation:**

**Overview of the Issue:**

The list or overview view shows terms in plain text, disregarding any rich content formatting such as media, links, tables, or lengthy text paragraphs.

The issue arises because displaying rich content in the list view can lead to significant usability problems, such as excessive scrolling or awkward content truncation.

**Reason for Current Implementation:**

To maintain a coherent and user-friendly interface, the system limits the content displayed in the list view. This prevents issues related to scrolling and display inconsistencies.

The system cannot precisely control where content splits occur in the middle of rich content elements, such as tables or links. As a result, to avoid unattractive displays, rich formatting is removed.
