Unwanted conversion of html entities in md notes

[RandyVogel]

It seems to me as if QuickSimpleNote is changing some special characters into their html entities such as:
"&" ampersand gets changed into "&"
">" greater than gets changed into ">"
"<" less than gets changed into "<"

might be more, but those are three that I use and see getting changed frequently.
The annoying thing is that the change happens inconsistently.

It never happens with notes that I use solely with the SimpleNote web app or the SimpleNote android app.

It frequently happens when I open a note in ST3 via QuickSimpleNote after having edited that note in the android app.
When this entity replacement happens, if I look at the note via the SimpleNote android or web client, I can see that the characters have not been replaced there (which is why I think this plug-in is causing the trouble).

And if I go back and forth between the two, the ampersand will be multiply replaced, eg: & -> & -> &amp; -> &amp;amp; etc.

How can I stop this from happening?

Looking at things a little more, in my current problematic sample file, the characters that are getting mis-converted are all html-like things present in the raw md file that adjacent to other non-alpha chars.
Eg: the html entity "☸" gets changed into "☸"
or "<(wip)>" gets changed into "<(wip)>"
or "{{tag>music" gets changed into "{{tag>music"

Thanks for the report, I just noticed this myself as well on a note I use quite often... but it never happened before today for me and I've been unable to trigger it now.. have you been experiencing this for a while?

Also, when you say markdown, you mean you are using the note_syntax setting? if so, with which value?
Or are you using the title_extension_map to map a title to the "md" extension?

Nevermind, was able to replicate it with the web client as well... gonna take a look hopefully over the weekend.

Seems to be related to a quite old bug which the API library we use worked around here simplenote-vim/simplenote.py@0c37fb4

The newest version of the library is working fine for me right now, although I would like to take some time testing it, as a workaround if you know where the plugin lives you can try to replace the content of the file simplenote.py with the ones here https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mrtazz/simplenote.py/master/simplenote/simplenote.py (or let me know your ST version and OS and maybe I can help)

replaced simplenote.py back-and-forth edits swapping between the simplenote web client, simplenote android app, and sublime text 3 with quick simplenote seems to show that the problem has been resolved, thanks!
