$.html() encoding apostrophes

Having quotes in quotes and calling html on it encodes the inside quotes. jQuery .html correctly returns the desired output (not replace ' with ')

console.log(require('cheerio').load('<div ng-include="\'views/main.html\'"></div>').html());
// <div ng-include="&apos;views/main.html&apos;"></div>

Have you tried to run it with decodeEntities: false?

console.log(require('cheerio').load('<div ng-include="\'views/main.html\'"></div>', {decodeEntities: false}).html());

I’ll jump in on this one. In my case I am appending an image tag with a src url with query params. In theory, it should not matter that it replaces the & with &. But it does matter because in this case: the output is an email, not a browser and the & is being interpreted as written so that my query params come in as amp;qname. I have a workaround which to unescape the output of .html(), but really I should not have to in this case and I have some concerns about what may happen if a legitimately escaped string comes in and we unescape it. Anyway, food for thought.
