Option to prevent double encoding about html-entities HOT 3 CLOSED

Hello @diegomansua,

Sorry for a long delay in the response. Can it be that this PR #86 solves your problem?

from html-entities.

@mdevils unless I'm doing something wrong it doesn't seem like it would solve my problem; I've checked out the PR branch and built it and tried the following:

console.log(encode('you & me', {mode: 'nonAsciiPrintableOnly'})); // prints 'you & me' ✅
console.log(encode('you & me', {mode: 'nonAsciiPrintableOnly'})); // prints 'you & me' ❌ (expected 'you & me')

I've tried also with level: 'xml'.

Basically what I'd need is an option so that if an entity is already encoded (e.g. &), it shouldn't encode it again (i.e. it should leave it as & instead of doing &).

Hello @diegomansua.

I'm afraid you have a very specific use-case.

I'd suggest you to use a combination of encode and decode like so:

console.log(encode(decode('you & me and you & me'), {mode: 'nonAscii'}));

Hope this helps.
