Bible: HTML encoding in API response

[cotto]

The instant answer for hosea 11:9 shows some mojobake:

I cannot carry out my fierce anger! I cannot totally destroy Ephraim! Because I am God, and not man – the Holy One among you – I will not come in wrath!

Thanks! We get those entities rendering properly.

Yeah. That was github being helpful. Here's a screenshot in Chrome 43.0.2357.134 on Windows. I saw the same thing in Firefox nightly on Linux.

@cotto Thanks for reporting this.

Issue The API is returning HTML entities

See: https://duckduckgo.com/js/spice/bible/hosea%2011%3A9

Fix: Use stripHTML in handlebars template

Notes This API should moved away from the base template group: https://github.com/duckduckgo/zeroclickinfo-spice/blob/ed05efa4152f627dd3e54821bca2eb563d105192/share/spice/bible/bible.js#L22

@MrChrisW #stripHTML doesn't work. Handlebars can't decode HTML entities. Have to do it in JS, something like this -

var text = $('<textarea />').html(data.text).text();

[MrChrisW]

@iambibhas That's correct :+1: Thanks for the clarification. In reality the API shouldn't be passing HTML entities.
