Ampersand decodes in "&" in code block

[Ivan Livadnyi]

When I try to post html-code in a code block in wiki:

<a href="https://experience.tripster.ru/?exp_partner=TESTPARTNER&utm_source=TESTPARTNER&utm_campaign=affiliates&utm_medium=link" target="_blank">sometext</a>

And I publish the code, i receive following:

I've tried most of highlightning and style setting, but it's doesn't matter. Looks like it overrides highlightning and sets it as HTML/XML, because when I try another code block:

https://experience.tripster.ru/?exp_partner=TESTPARTNER&utm_source=TESTPARTNER&utm_campaign=affiliates&utm_medium=link

It looks fine in "Bash" or "Python" setting, but in HTML decoding it breaks all ampersands into "&amp;".

Hi, Thais Krischer,

Thank you for fast response and understanding the issue. I've subscribed this bug. Will wait for results.

End of 2020. This is still not fixed, instead a phrase "ampersands are converted into HTML entities in code blocks" is added into docs.

This is not a bug, this is a feature! Confluence (l)users must suffer! Is that your point, Atlassian?
