Reproduction

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Create notes with special characters in
  2. Save notes
  3. View notes (see the strange encoding)

Expected Behavior

I expected the notes to not html~ise characters
e.g. - I'm pretty sure I heard <insert random name> ask...

Actual Behavior

Notes seem to encode the saved text as if html (is this ASCII?) as opposed to just normal (UTF-8?)
e.g. - I'm pretty sure I heard &lt;insert random name&gt; ask...

Environment

  • Browser(s): chrome
  • Operating System (e.g. Windows, macOS, Ubuntu): Windows10

Thx for the issue! Can you provide a concrete sentence which leads to the unexpected result @clicketyclackety ?

The e.g in expected vs actual behaviour was meant to be this ๐Ÿ˜Š

Sorry my bad. All good, will try. These are probably expected either because of Markdown or the communication with the remote. Will see if we can do something...

@clicketyclackety had more time and energy than expected so I was able to fix that one too today too ๐Ÿ˜‰

thanks for all the useful feedback!

Quality! Thanks @peterpeterparker, I tested notes and they're working as expected ๐Ÿ’ฏ!

Cool! Thanks for the test
