text in between <> will be displayed as nothing

[ShalolaAuthor]

Steps to reproduce

go to webview because i was flabbergasted why sometimes theres a word or two missing. turns out all the missing words are wrapped in <>.

Expected behavior

if the original written as <Nebula>. it should not be omitted.

<>. i think the parser recognize this as html tags so thats why it is being omitted?

Actual behavior

from certain <Nebula>.

displayed as: from certain .

LNReader version

1.1.19

frustrated because it also happens in github i will now revert this what im saying with this >< instead of this <>.

Nebula< is written. but it was omitted due to <>.

i think you guys get the point right?

Could you provide an example of a novel and chapter along with the source where this issue can be reproduced?

Hello! I believe the OP is reading the same novel as me. Try "Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint", Chapter 388, the fourth paragraph:

[Nebula, , has opened a portal that will summon you].

Over here it showsup correctly: https://www.lightnovelworld.com/novel/omniscient-readers-viewpoint-265/chapter-388

Perhaps we can sanitize the <> here: https://github.com/LNReader/lnreader/blob/484c2b7e33fc4832b2d987c7f8a3dce74ef7b642/src/screens/reader/ReaderScreen.tsx#L298

Or there some special mark up to prevent it from reading it as html here: https://github.com/LNReader/lnreader/blob/484c2b7e33fc4832b2d987c7f8a3dce74ef7b642/src/screens/reader/ReaderScreen.tsx#L346

Honestly, I don't have experience with app development at all so I'm very hesitant to touch the code myself. However, this will definitely improve the reading experience of this app as key character names are within those <>. I had thought it was an error in the translation for the past 50 or more chapters and now I feel like an idiot :c

Yes I also have this issue.

Example: <Nest Covered by Clouds> Dungeon becomes: Dungeon

[Palloxin]

chapter = document.querySelector('chapter');
chapter.innerHTML = chapter.innerHTML
.replace(/<(\w+\b[\s\w’\']+|[A-Z][a-z]*)>/g, '&lt;$1&gt;');

Not a perfect solution but a lot of them should show with this.. Copy paste in custom js (Settings => Reader)

It didn't work unfortunately (source: novelupdates)

[Palloxin]

Say the novel name and chapter

You’re right. Seems onky the edit in the code can fix it, I guess.
