Could you raise a PR?

We should avoid escaping text only for the trackExpense task and not for other tasks.

                task.type === 'trackExpense' ? false : true,

I disagree that this is related to my changes. But I agree it's been detected this issue after implementing them.

The main problem is handling shouldEscapeText in unescapeText in expensify-common.

As we can see, the description starts with the <strong> tag, which causes the strange "Invite your team*" and only closes this tag after "*Invite member" in list item 4.This happens due to incorrect text processing, and as I noticed during testing, it is related to the presence of ">" in the text.

I also need to fix other issues, so anyway I can add this to avoid shouldEscapeText for this text.
