Probably a problem with MWoffliner

@kelson42 I don't know if it is an MWoffiner problem or not as the description has the HTML entry in it. But It is a Kiwix app problem the description is "D&D Wiki" which has the HTML entry. But Kiwix is not properly decoding the HTML entries before setting it to the textView. I have fixed this issue in kiwix/kiwix-android#4111.

@MohitMaliFtechiz Why should Kiwix decode HTML there? If someone put a png there, you want also to decode the png?

@MohitMaliFtechiz commented on 2024-11-28:

@kelson42 No, we don't want to decode the png in the Kiwix. The problem is on MWoffliner as it is puting the HTML in the description, but at least Kiwix should decode the HTML for the title and description if any comes due to this type of bug to avoid this type of visual error.

@MohitMaliFtechiz No, bug should be fixed at the right place. Fixing problems at the wrong place is the best way to create strange behaviours in edge cases and future bugs.

Note that in the mean time (until this issue get fixed) this ZIM title has been fixed manually (i.e. set as recipe argument). Do not consider that the fact it is now OK in the ZIM means that issue is gone, issue still needs to be fixed. We probably need to unescape the title which is retrieved from Mediawiki metadata.
