Dear sweet Oghma. We can’t even get rid of it on TTRPGs.

    HTML escape sequence for &. Does this always happen when embedding articles on Lemmy?

    Edit: I wanted to write a single ampersand of course, so it’s definitely Lemmy’s fault. Testing some other characters in in-line code: &lt; > [ ] { } | ~ ^ # outside: < > [ ] { } | ~ ^ # &

    Edit: so “<” and “&” in code are affected; also I see the comment like this when editing:

    Testing some other characters in in-line code: `&lt;` `>` `[` `]` `{` `}` `|` `~` `^` `#` outside: &lt; > [ ] { } | ~ ^ # &amp;
    

    Someone likely implemented crude input sanitation and did not account for everything. I would prefer a closer-to-WYSIWYG editor where the user never sees escape sequences.
