  5. --DESCRIPTION--
  6. <p>
  7. Prior to HTML Purifier 4.9.0, entities were decoded by performing
  8. a global search replace for all entities whose decoded versions
  9. did not have special meanings under HTML, and replaced them with
  10. their decoded versions. We would match all entities, even if they did
  11. not have a trailing semicolon, but only if there weren't any trailing
  12. alphanumeric characters.
  13. </p>
  14. <table>
  15. <tr><th>Original</th><th>Text</th><th>Attribute</th></tr>
  16. <tr><td>&amp;yen;</td><td>&yen;</td><td>&yen;</td></tr>
  17. <tr><td>&amp;yen</td><td>&yen;</td><td>&yen;</td></tr>
  18. <tr><td>&amp;yena</td><td>&amp;yena</td><td>&amp;yena</td></tr>
  19. <tr><td>&amp;yen=</td><td>&yen;=</td><td>&yen;=</td></tr>
  20. </table>
  21. <p>
  22. In HTML Purifier 4.9.0, we changed the behavior of entity parsing
  23. to match entities that had missing trailing semicolons in less
  24. cases, to more closely match HTML5 parsing behavior:
  25. </p>
  26. <table>
  27. <tr><th>Original</th><th>Text</th><th>Attribute</th></tr>
  28. <tr><td>&amp;yen;</td><td>&yen;</td><td>&yen;</td></tr>
  29. <tr><td>&amp;yen</td><td>&yen;</td><td>&yen;</td></tr>
  30. <tr><td>&amp;yena</td><td>&yen;a</td><td>&amp;yena</td></tr>
  31. <tr><td>&amp;yen=</td><td>&yen;=</td><td>&amp;yen=</td></tr>
  32. </table>
  33. <p>
  34. This flag reverts back to pre-HTML Purifier 4.9.0 behavior.
