HI, we are preparing to shift from Nintex on premise “classic” to K2 5. 
While preparing for this we noticed that sharepont multiline koloms filled by Nintex “classic” are displayed in k2 including html coding, see below. 
Does anybody have a solution for this?
Is a conversion necessary?

Are you currently using a text area control or a rich text control?  The screenshot seems to indicate text area.  You can try changing the control to a rich text control and seeing if it changes how the tags are displayed.

Text Area Control

vs

Rich Text Control

If this is how it looks like SharePoint:

 

Then when you generate K2 forms, it will automatically be handled as:

At design time it is handled as a ‘Rich Text’ control.

Hi MillaZ.

Unfortunately no. It is in the form that it looks like that.
New input is handled correctly, its the old input/data from the Nintex “Classic” that's the problem. 
I'm working on a workflow to strip the data.
But I'm having a bit of problems getting the regex to work. 
Does Regex work in te replace text function? 
Te generic regex function don't look like what im searching. 
Any help would be apricated.
