HTLM Character codes not rendering correctly

[hairlesshobo]

Help us to manage our issues by answering the following:

1. Describe your issue:

HTML Characters (ex: →, ») do not render correctly if in a html tag that also has a riot expression. For example:

<span>&raquo; { message1 }</span>

will literally show » as opposed to the expected "»".

A workaround is to wrap the html character in it's own tag, such as a span, but I'm wondering if this was intentional or a bug. This is different than the behavior in v3, hence the reason I'm wondering if it is a bug.

2. Can you reproduce the issue?

3. On which browser/OS does the issue appear?

Win 10 / Chrome 78

4. Which version of Riot does it affect?

4.7.0
