Problem with Nokogiri escaping in collate_minutes.rb

I've been trying to add Pop-up permalinks to the minutes as are
available on the original calendar page:

https://www.apache.org/foundation/board/calendar.html

To see the permalink, hover over the heading:

2017 Board calendar

However Nokogiri does not seem to allow for writing CSS selectors of the form:

h1:hover > .headerlink

The '>' is converted to &gt; which means the CSS does not work.

There's also a separate issue with writing the entity name '&para;' to the file.
This needs to be done when building the index pages, i.e. it is
provided as input to the builder which is then passed to Nokogiri.

I could replace them both with special markers and do a global
substitution just before saving the file, but that is messy and one
would need to be careful not to change the wrong markers.

Any ideas, or is it a fruitless task?
