Some characters are escaped twice

[krummler]

First off, thanks for this great library!

What did you expect to happen?

I expect characters to be rendered like their unescaped counterparts, for example:

• & becomes &
• " becomes "
• < becomes <

What happened instead?

Most characters seem to work fine, except for > and < (maybe there are more cases).

• & stays & which renders as &
• " stays " which renders as "
• < becomes < which renders as <
• > becomes > which renders as >

Example

& Hello\n\n" Hai\n\n< Does that work\n\n> Maybe

Becomes:

"<p>&amp; Hello</p>\n<p>&quot; Hai</p>\n<p>&amp;lt; Does that work</p>\n<p>&amp;gt; Maybe</p>\n"

I can't reproduce this:

 % ./cmark
& Hello\n\n" Hai\n\n< Does that work\n\n> Maybe
^D
<p>&amp; Hello\n\n&quot; Hai\n\n&lt; Does that work\n\n&gt; Maybe</p>

What version are you using? (I see from the linked issue 0.28.3. Well, this is with the 0.28.3 release.) I suspect the problem is not actually in cmark.

Closing unless more information can be provided that would allow me to reproduce this.
