Like I said in the post above, the HTML chars < > ; & " and space are NOT replaced, and to clarify either automatically or manually (ie in selected text).
This is explicit in the code, and I guess having it not change those characters allowed large blocks of HTML/XML to be selected for replacement, which must have suited the workflow of the people who wrote it, because thats how it has worked from the first commit of replacement functions back in 2009 (before that it was just the insert menu). A pull request that added another command that just replaced those characters might be accepted, but changing the default behaviour after all these years probably would not be accepted, people who actively use the plugin will be too used to it not replacing. -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
