Many years ago I had some problems with uncoded entities, so I got "stuck" encoding them. I have noticed that recent browsers seem to figure things out better, perhaps in part due to HTML5 becoming more the norm.
I understand about the different folders, but I always create a project based on the build folder, and then manually drag-n-drop the includes folder into the project. Again, it's been years since this happened, but "updating" an include file by mistake can lead to a long, painful clean-up process, so I go to great steps to avoid having it happen. If you've mastered this, no problem. True about the latest version of Bootstrap, but some persons (such as myself) have given up on the later versions because for hand coding BS3 seems perfectly adequate. I meant, of course, that there's a later version of BS4 than the one you're calling. I'm looking forward to digging into your code base more deeply.
