Could you add Unicode and/or entities management on link’s tooltip?

Question

Hello PlantULM team,

Inspire by: https://forum.plantuml.net/11442/full-support-for-cr%C3%A9ole-in-tootltip

• Could you add Unicode and/or xml entities management on link’s tooltip?
• Could it possible (for png and svg output) to not escape '&' if it is on xml entity (&#...;)?

Here is a first example wanted:

@startuml
file f [
test 1: with unicode   : 100<U+02103> = 212<U+02109> [[{test 1:\n100<U+02103> = 212<U+02109>}(view tooltip unicode)]] eol1
test 2: with entity hex: 100&#x02103; = 212&#x02109; [[{test 2:\n100&#x02103; = 212&#x02109;}(view tooltip entity hex)]] eol2
test 3: with entity dec: 100&#8451; = 212&#8457; [[{test 3:\n100&#8451; = 212&#8457;}(view tooltip entity dec)]] eol3
]

Hello PlantUML Team,

On V1.2020.10:

• For Unicode: that is good for SVG, but not enough for PNG,
• And for html entities: this is not enough.

As mentionned on the wanted feature:

Could it possible (for png and svg output) to not escape '&' if it is on xml entity (&#...;)?

We can create a new Wanted features.

Regards,
Th.
