Hi folks,
Many sites are now using Character Entity Names defined under
https://www.w3.org/TR/xml-entity-names/
https://github.com/w3c/xml-entities/blob/gh-pages/unicode.xml
https://github.com/w3c/xml-entities/raw/refs/heads/gh-pages/unicode.xml
https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/named-characters.html#named-character-references
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_XML_and_HTML_character_entity_references
which currently render verbatim rather than being ignored or blanked, for
example:
$ lynx -dump -nonumbers -nolist libera.chat | grep '&[^;]\+;'
Libera.​Chat
Libera.​Chat
Please consider updating your entities from what I can see in your snapshots, or
provide an innocuous default?
