Off the cuff I’m not sure as the At symbol isn’t reserved.
I don’t manage the node version of this, but it sounds like it could be a bug. Is the @ symbol used in javascript backends? I’m not familiar with node.
The function encodeForHTMLAttribute encodes the symbol '@' too. However, if we have such an element:
then encodeForHTMLAttribute encodes 'user@example.com' it to user@example.com.
What is the right way to encode this value so it looks like user@example.com?
Thanks,
