Certain characters in base description replaced with HTML entity


I think this is a [relatively] recent development — at least I hope I would have noticed it before…

In base descriptions, inside sections of text designated as ‘inline code’ (that is, text preceded and followed by a back-tick), some characters are replaced with their HTML entity. I first noticed this with '"' (replaced with '"') and ''' (replaced with '&#39'); I’ve since discovered '&' becomes '&', as well. As I typically use inline code to indicate fields, functions, and formulas, this may cause the description of older bases to become confusing and make it difficult properly to document new ones.
