Public Info data getting stored as html

Summary:

Hi Experts,

I see About_Me, Area_of_expertise, and Area_of_interest data from public info are stored in HRT_PROFILES_VL and HRT_PROFILE_KEYWORDS tables. But the values are stored in HTML format. Is it expected to store like this or is there any setup to control this?
