 New Comment:

As for the "(as claimed in)" comment, you can delete it. They actually
claim you should use straight up HTML without escaping it. Problem is
the parser then treats the HTML tags like XML ones. If you have a
solution for that one, please post it there.

Description:
------------
Assuming #26528 is also valid for the actual character data (as claimed
in http://forum.alicebot.org/viewtopic.php?t=69), then the parser should
decode <this>&lt;that&gt;</this> into:

[name] => this

[value] => <that>

The problem is in some cases it stays as:

[name] => this

[value] => &lt;that&gt;



In my 2 unrelated servers, the decoding works in v5.2.6 but fails in
v5.2.14.



Please check in newer versions, if you can!
