[itsopi]

📝 Provide detailed reproduction steps (if any)

1. Add 'codeBlock' plugin.
2. Set this data - <pre><code class="plaintext hljs">&</code></pre>

✔️ Expected result

I expect to see '&'

❌ Actual result

I see '&' - escaped ampersand, which is unexpected.

This occurs only when the ampersand is in code block.

• Browser: Does not matter
• OS: Does not matter
• CKEditor version: Latest
• Installed CKEditor plugins: Does not matter but codeBlock is mandatory

It's hard to say because we didn't investigate this issue. For sure it's an important problem and we'd like to fix it, however, our capabilities limit us, so we're focused on issues with higher priorities. I'm afraid that the only solution I can recommend is trying to debug it on your own, as we can't promise any date for fixing it.
