Problem/Motivation

Even using the latest 8.x-dev version, I still have apostrophe encoding issues in my metatag. I can fine multiple issues about in the issue queue, all are flagged 'fixed' suggesting it works. For instance:
#2649592: Write tests to cover apostrophe handling in meta tags →

Yet if I enter "alex's" in any metatag it gets outputted like:

<meta name="title" content="alex&#039;s title" />
<meta name="description" content="alex&#039;s description" />
<meta name="abstract" content="alex&#039;s" />
<meta name="keywords" content="alex&#039;s" />

I would expect view source to show:

<meta name="title" content="alex's" />
<meta name="description" content="alex's" />
<meta name="abstract" content="alex's" />
<meta name="keywords" content="alex's" />

Proposed resolution

Change the output so that HTML entities are not encoded.

Remaining tasks

  • Change the existing tests to check for plain strings in the output instead of encoded HTML entities.
  • Ensure that the quotation marks are not broken, i.e. don't introduce any XSS bugs.
  • Adjust the module's output accordingly.
