HTML Character encoding of non-standard ASCII Characters in Chart Plugin

      Steps to Reproduce:

      1. Have a browser in French language
      2. Create a page in Confluence
      3. Use a Chart Macro
      4. Have a HTML macro inside the chart Macro
      5. You can have a HTML table, plus a foreign language character inside your table. I have a sample code below.
        {html}
        <table border="1">
        <tr>
        <td>ABC</td>
        <td>50</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
        <td>&eacute;</td>
        <td>39</td>
        </tr>
        </table>
        {html}
        

        Note the existence of &eacute ; in the table.

        Expected Results:

      Characters should be encoded. and table should be displayed.

      Actual Results:

      Characters will not be encoded, and instead there will be an error asn you can see below.

      • Error:
        Erreur du rendu de la macro 'chart' : org.dom4j.DocumentException: Error on line 2 of document : The reference to entity "eacute" must end with the ';' delimiter. Nested exception: The reference to entity "eacute" must end with the ';' delimiter.
      • Translation of Error:
