Ampersand character within triple backquotes is incorrectly rendered

[dalbani]

It seems that all & characters contained within triple backquotes are incorrectly rendered, as & instead of simply &.
For example, for this definition:

swagger: '2.0'
info:
  title: Test API
  description: |
    A description with an ampersand with triple backquotes:
    ```&```
...

The result is:

Version: latest master as of today, i.e. commit efb77652274e99893b11848f02d9dc37d07344aa.

I supposed the issue is not directly related to SwaggerUI itself, but I have no idea which dependency library is responsible for the rendering.

Running into this myself. I think it may be a bug in the marked.js library:

• character "<, >, &" will be translated into &lt; &gt; &amp; markedjs/marked#779
• sanitize options does not work in code markedjs/marked#287

Although I see that swagger-ui has injested that dependency:

• lib/marked.js

Actually, it reproduces not only with ampersand, but with some other special characters. Is there any progress?

Same here.
Make putting code examples in the description rather useless...

The Swagger Editor doesn't have this problem btw.

Please retest with 3.X.

@webron: still applicable on 3.0.18.
Can be tested with something as simple as ```&``` `&`.
It's rendered in both cases as &.
On the other hand, <code>&</code> works fine.

The & is known and is tackled in a different ticket, I just can't find it now.
