Not sure why the devs have so much trouble with parsing this. I’m not sure if it’s an API thing or a front-end issue

Something somewhere is running an htmlspecialchars() or equivalent on whatever you input, probably as an attempt at "sanitizing" the text entered in titles/posts/comments. You know, to keep me from just inserting a javascript tag with src='http://pwned.ru/fu.js' into a comment and have it to something naughty to anyone who loads the page.

I'm certain these are being stored in the database as an & amp;, but they're not being decoded back into an ampersand character upon display.

I know, just sanitize it again. .Replace(“&”, &), Regex.Remove(amp;), if(.Contains(“amp;”))

The same with < and &lt; please

No. This is just escaped html. So you can just unescape it like every other html.
