 * Hi Rhys,
 * Thanks for the very handy plugin! We’re running into an issue though. Our common
   post title format is “Thing – subthing” and our en dashes are getting mangled
   as &[#8211](https://bsky.app/hashtag/8211); both in the Post Title variable and
   the Link card that’s generated. The URIs themselves render fine, but the title
   reads as “Thing &[#8211](https://bsky.app/hashtag/8211); subthing”
 * Is there anything I can do on our end to sort that out?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fen-dashes-getting-mangled%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi There,
   I’ve pushed a fix to 1.1.3. It should work emdashes and ampersands.
   Would _love_ to use a proper HTML function but having problems forming it. So
   it may be a whack a mole for the forseeable versions.But it should work for you,
   please check 🙂

 * Thanks Rhys!
 * Looks like that fixes the Post Title, but it looks like the embed card is still
   using the old method.
