Hans Aikema commented on TEXT-193:
----------------------------------
$ is a valid HTML5 named entity per
[https://dev.w3.org/html5/html-author/charref,] but it's not a valid HTML4
entity [https://www.w3.org/TR/WD-html40-970708/sgml/entities.html]
So in my view unescapeHtml4 rightfully does not unescape $ and you'd
like to see an extension of the StringEscapeUtils so that it can also unescape
HTML5.
> HTML4 unEscape should parse $
