Description

Parsing of all special characters does not render correct XML. FWIW, a simple workaround is to just use a regex to find the other special characters which are not currently being parsed correctly and replace them accordingly, as seen in the Expected output. 🙏

Input

A jest test be written to test the expected output of parser.

Input: `Example & < > " ' “ ” ‘ ’ « » „ “ caption with special characters`

Code

parse()

Output

Received: "Example & < > \" ' &#8220; &#8221; &#8216; &#8217; &#171; &#187; &#8222; &#8220; caption with special characters"

expected data

Expected: "Example & < > " ' “ ” ‘ ’ « » „ “ caption with special characters"
