[jira] [Commented] (TEXT-193) HTML4 unEscape should parse $

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TEXT-193?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17411986#comment-17411986 ] 

Hans Aikema commented on TEXT-193:
----------------------------------

&dollar; 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 &dollar; and you'd like to see an extension of the StringEscapeUtils so that it can also unescape HTML5.
