9058	lavc/htmlsubtitles.c does not parse HTML ampersand escapes	Leo Izen		"`libavcodec/htmlsubtitles.c` has a parser for `<html>` tags using angled brackets, but it ignores HTML escapes like `&lt;` and `&amp;`. This means there's no way to put an HTML tag in a subtitle format like SubRip, because `&lt;` is passed as is, and `<tags>` are not passed if they are not recognized.

For context WebVTT's parser does support `&lt;` (in compliance with spec), but SubRip cannot because there's no way to escape a `<` using the current decoder/parser.
