What did you do? ================ 1. HTML text containing "&copy" displayed in browser 2.  3.  What happened? ============== copyright symbol (c) being shown in rendered text What should have happened? ========================== "&copy" should be shown in rendered text Is there anything else we should know? ====================================== "©" should be the entity for the copyright symbol (c)
What is the URL of the page where this is appearing?
Flags: needinfo?(medusade)
It appears in any text rendered in the browser such as the following: <html>do(&copy, &other)</html>
