HTML Entity handling #3

Closed tomlutzenberger closed 4 years ago

tomlutzenberger commented 4 years ago

Hi Edern. I wanted to ask if there are plans to extend the functionality of TypeLighter. In a current project, I used your library and it works great. But it turned out that it can't handle HTML entities or more specific "Soft-Hyphens" ­. Because TypeLighter prints character after character, those entities get printed as well and show up as plain text until they're complete. I looked at your implementation and have some sort of idea how to solve this. Would you include such functionality?

I found out that I can avoid/solve this problem by using escaped unicode characters. In my case using \u00ad instead of ­ fixed everything.

Hi @tomlutzenberger. Sorry for the delayed response, I’m working a lot this year. Thanks for your solution 🙂
