5.8.1 table editor and other javascript nodes encode strings as html

In 5.8.1 as an executor, the table editor will convert strings to be html encoded when reading in information.

i.e. create a table creator with a single column containing ‘Hello=World’ and it will convert to ‘Hello=World’

This only does this on the KNIME business hub and not KNIME analytics platform.

If you enter in the characters manually, it will export correctly

other nodes have the same issue such as the javascript heatmap as well

unfortunately, the forum has fixed the code automatically
It will convert Hello=World into Hello &_#_6_1_; World (without the underscores)
