Issue
Python-Markdown gives me:
import markdown
md = markdown.Markdown()
md.convert('this & that') # gives <p>this & that</p>
But on a pelican page the same markdown gives me:
<p>this & that</p>
Unescaped
I can't reproduce this. On my workstation, I get the following in my generated output:
<p>this <span class="amp">&</span> that</p>

Do you have typogrify
installed/active? (I think that's where the <span>
comes from...)

<span>
yes from typogrify
, but escaped &
is not. So I cannot replicate this either, here is without typogrify:
$ cat content/articles/article.md
title: test
date: 01-01-2023
this & that
$ cat pelicanconf.py
SITEURL = 'https://example.com'
TIMEZONE = 'Europe/Paris'
TYPOGRIFY = False
$ pelican content -s pelicanconf.py
Done: Processed 1 article, 0 drafts, 0 hidden articles, 0 pages, 0 hidden pages and 0 draft pages in 0.09 seconds.
$ grep that output/test.html
<meta name="description" content="this & that" />
</footer><!-- /.post-info --> <p>this & that</p>
I am an idiot - profuse apologies.
PyCharm & Safari were both unescaping the text again when they showed it to me, even in the editor, I don't know why they'd do that, it was only when I happened to open a file in VS Code that I saw it was indeed there all along.
Sorry, sorry, sorry.
Please let us laugh with you ;) Glad you figured it out!
