Double html encoding in links

[TheGroundZero]

When a 'special' character is used, it gets encoded.
However, this encoded string is encoding again if it's part of an anchor tag (link).

For example:

[Shelly H&T][shelly_ht]
[Aaron's GitHub][atc_mithermometer]

[shelly_ht]: <https://shelly.cloud/products/shelly-humidity-temperature-smart-home-automation-sensor/> "Shelly Humidity & Temperature sensor"
[atc_mithermometer]: <https://github.com/atc1441/ATC_MiThermometer> "atc1441/ATC_MiThermometer"

Results in

<a href="https://shelly.cloud/products/shelly-humidity-temperature-smart-home-automation-sensor/" title="Shelly Humidity &amp; Temperature sensor" target="_blank">Shelly H&amp;amp;T</a>
<a href="https://github.com/atc1441/ATC_MiThermometer" title="atc1441/ATC_MiThermometer" target="_blank">Aaron&amp;rsquo;s GitHub</a>

Which is displayed as

Shelly H&T
Aaron’s GitHub

Hey @TheGroundZero,

yeah... I see, this is really annoying. :D

Well, the theme itself just displays the content of the post without additional post processing:

hugo-theme-hello-friend-ng/layouts/posts/single.html

Line 49 in 723b15a

{{ .Content }}

But I've found a closed issue on hugo's github issues that describes the same issue. What version do you use of hugo?

Hi

$ hugo version
Hugo Static Site Generator v0.80.0/extended linux/amd64 BuildDate: 2020-12-31T20:02:59Z
