Consider the below example, INPUT - the value of the old purchase is < the new purchase OUTPUT- the value of the old purchase is

"< the new purchase " this part is getting excluded from the actual string.

Hi @ranjit-redekar, linkify-html does not support text with unencoded HTML entities such as < (should be encoded as &lt;. Try linkify-string instead https://linkify.js.org/docs/linkify-string.html
