SVGO 3 does not understand numbered HTML entities

[iessa-pragg-ctct]

Describe the bug Running SVGO 3.0.2 on an asset that contains a numbered HTML entity (&) causes a syntax parsing error. Replacing the numbered entity with its equivalent named version works &.

SvgoParserError: .\i_ASSET_Pg2.svg:8400:57: Invalid character in entity name

  8398 | …<g id="shape498-2264" v:mID="498" v:groupContext="shape" v:layerMember="4" tr…
  8399 | …      <title>Sheet.498</title>
> 8400 | …      <desc>DIAGRAM – SCHEMATIC, BOB, MACHINE, DX, DA &#38; DAA T4F GGG, GEN 3...</…
       |                                                            ^
  8401 | …      <v:textBlock v:margins="rect(4,4,4,4)" v:tabSpace="42.5197" v:verticalAlign=…
  8402 | …      <v:textRect cx="219.471" cy="765.117" width="438.95" height="53.7668" />

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Create an SVG <svg><text>Foo &#38; Bar</text></svg>
2. Run SVGO 3 on it
3. See error

Expected behavior SVGO should handle numbered HTML entities.

This still fails in version 3.3.2, looks like it is fixed in v4.

Indeed, that has been addressed in main, which is the current release candidate.

If you want to use it now, you can do use v4.0.0-rc.0, or wait for it to be the official release!
