      Issue Summary

       

      If the master toggle "Formatted Text" is enabled, when exporting Epic or by accessing the "Status Report", the Jira Align does not encode a few special characters, in the "Description" field.

       

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Enables the master toggle "Formatted Text" 
      2. Go to any Epic on Jira Align
      3. Update the Description with special characters (such as &, ^, %)  and with empty space at the end of each line.
      4. Save the Epic
      5. Go to "Status Report"
      6. Also, close the Epic and export it, unselecting the toggle "Include HTML formatting in the exported"

      Expected Results

       

      The Jira Align encodes the reserved HTML entities regarding the special characters.

      Actual Results
