Core.LegacyEntityDecoder
TYPE: bool
VERSION: 4.9.0
DEFAULT: false
--DESCRIPTION--
<p>
    Prior to HTML Purifier 4.9.0, entities were decoded by performing
    a global search replace for all entities whose decoded versions
    did not have special meanings under HTML, and replaced them with
    their decoded versions.  We would match all entities, even if they did
    not have a trailing semicolon, but only if there weren't any trailing
    alphanumeric characters.
</p>
<table>
<tr><th>Original</th><th>{{ __('Text') }}</th><th>Attribute</th></tr>
<tr><td>&amp;yen;</td><td>&yen;</td><td>&yen;</td></tr>
<tr><td>&amp;yen</td><td>&yen;</td><td>&yen;</td></tr>
<tr><td>&amp;yena</td><td>&amp;yena</td><td>&amp;yena</td></tr>
<tr><td>&amp;yen=</td><td>&yen;=</td><td>&yen;=</td></tr>
</table>
<p>
    In HTML Purifier 4.9.0, we changed the behavior of entity parsing
    to match entities that had missing trailing semicolons in less
    cases, to more closely match HTML5 parsing behavior:
</p>
<table>
<tr><th>Original</th><th>{{ __('Text') }}</th><th>Attribute</th></tr>
<tr><td>&amp;yen;</td><td>&yen;</td><td>&yen;</td></tr>
<tr><td>&amp;yen</td><td>&yen;</td><td>&yen;</td></tr>
<tr><td>&amp;yena</td><td>&yen;a</td><td>&amp;yena</td></tr>
<tr><td>&amp;yen=</td><td>&yen;=</td><td>&amp;yen=</td></tr>
</table>
<p>
    This flag reverts back to pre-HTML Purifier 4.9.0 behavior.
