Aldrin Piri commented on NIFI-327:
----------------------------------
The issue stems from nf-canvas-toolbox.js invocation of
{code}
description: nf.Common.escapeHtml(documentedType.description),
{code}
This is encoding &<>"'\/. In the context of the description, I think this is
heavy-handed, and only a subset of those characters is needed.
> Add Processor dialog improper HTML encoding of processor descriptions
