    What would be the purpose of using it in the meta tags?

    No as you would incur a W3C validation penalty

    No you do not want to use HTML within a Meta tag. Some of the search engines follow at least loosely the W3C validation rules.

    See: http://validator.w3.org/

    As far as I know using HTML within a meta tag will gain you no benefit whatsoever and can only potentially hurt you.

    I think you can use HTML tags, but what's the point ? The engines that take into consideration the meta tags will look at them as simple "words".
