feat: highlight and decode HTML entities in the editor#9
Merged
Conversation
Named (é), decimal (é) and hex (é) HTML character references are now parsed as a new "entity" placeholder, rendered as the decoded glyph inline with a subtle highlight. The raw entity stays in the stored value and shows in code mode / on hover, exactly like tags. Matching is strict (requires a trailing ";" and a recognized reference), so a bare "&" in text is left untouched. Decoding uses the bundled "entities" library; entities inside tag attributes are skipped.
