A common Bitbucket link is linking to issues in an issue tracker. A common way to reference an issue is using #<issue number>.

When setting up this type of link in bitbucket using the regex #([0-9]+), it also matches the # character in some HTML Symbol Entities erroneously.

E.g a commit with following message:

Does foo to 'bar'. Fixes BCLOUD-123.

results in:

Does foo to &[#39|https:somissuetracker.io/39];bar&[#39|https:somissuetracker.io/39];. Fixes [#123|https:somissuetracker.io/123].

while I expect:

Does foo to 'bar'. Fixes [#123|https:somissuetracker.io/123].
