This is the VF code Snippet we are using in our org. The user user rich text area to enter te data and this component is used in a standard page. but we are querying this value in anothe Custom VF page. The problem is the output text value renders the output along with HTML tags. If i remove the HTMLENCODE it works fine. FYI  HTMLENCODE  is required for submitting the app for app exchange. So we cannnot remove that.

<td><apex:outputText value="{!HTMLENCODE(r.questions)}" escape="false"/></td>

Any alternative solutions is appreciated.
