Prefer encoded plus and minus characters #545

Part of #435

Tammo-Feldmann commented 1 year ago

@alukach I think I might be missing some context here. I thought that the &plus character only references the "+" on the keyboard. I don't understand what we are gaining by this replacement. Seems like a small enough change, I'd just like to understand more about its purpose. Thank you.

@Tammo-Feldmann I appreciate the scrutiny. I admittedly don't recall why I thought this was a good idea... Reading up, it seems like HTML encoding of characters was more of a thing prior to HTML5 pushing the support of the UTF-8 character set, so perhaps it's not necessary any longer. Going to close & delete the branch.
