Notes encoding text incorrectly

[clicky]

Affected part of DeckDeckGo

• Studio (online editor)
• Remote control
• Poll
• Site
• Documentation
• Demo
• Starter kit
• Web Components
• Templates

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 😊

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 😉

thanks for all the useful feedback!

Quality! Thanks @peterpeterparker, I tested notes and they're working as expected 💯!

Cool! Thanks for the test
