When pulling text with special characters into a Textbox or Textarea, these chars are displayed by default as they are. Sometimes, however, a combination of these characters are used to make up an HTML entity, and you would like to have the entity displayed rather than the characters it contains.
This is why we’ve added a new property called “Decode special chars” in our textbox and Textarea Advanced settings.
Once this option is turned on, HTML entities pulled from Salesforce will be identified and displayed as entities.
* Many Thanks, James Lees, for bringing this up!
