My output of product schema look like this.
Shell I remove the html code from "meta itemprop="description" content="
or it must be plain text only?
<span itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Product">
<meta itemprop="url" content="http://www.testest.com/bo-clark-collection.html" >
<meta itemprop="name" content="Bo Clark Collection" >
<meta itemprop="productID" content="1194" >
<meta itemprop="description"
content="<html><body><div><p>Special eye-catcher: test.</p></body></html>" >
<span itemprop="offers" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Offer">
<meta itemprop="price" content="10,00 EUR" />
<meta itemprop="priceCurrency" content="EUR" />
<link itemprop="availability" href="http://schema.org/InStock" />
</span>
</span>

Yes.
You should only use plain text instead of html tags. Refer to the Product schema example at https://developers.google.com/structured-data/rich-snippets/products
Just write in following pattern:
It is recommended to use plain text in description as Google shows that description in plain text on their SERPs. In my view, Google only displays description in plain text rather than italic, bold or underlined fashion so using tags like , and are irrelevant here.
Microdata should be embedded in HTML, but tags with microdata in them can contain HTML. Description is a
<meta>
tag in your code though, so it does not need the HTML because it will never be displayed.It looks like you are putting key structured data in non-visible tags, that’s OK for currency, price, dates, but google states normally you should fit the microdata around your existing displayed data. The microdata can be in many different tags or block structures on the page, as long as they are nested under a single block structure (or a – but and seem most useful). Anything in HTML tags that don’t have microdata will not cause problems – it just gets ignored when searching structured data.
Consider altering your code so the microdata is spread out, eg
One piece of microdata can be embedded within another, as I’ve done here with color (Black) which is also part of Description. It works well for list items. Price done as above follows the google example of price.
