getting special character instead of single quote when writing to HTML file using nodeJS and cheerio
1
I was just playing around with node, so i wanted to replace the following html in my html file
<div class="replace" onclick="opennewtab('one')">
Wanted to replace it to
<div class="replace" onclick="replacedFunc('12345&')">
So i have the following node code:
let fs = require('fs'),
cheerio = require('cheerio');
$ = cheerio.load( fs.readFileSync( `${__dirname}/res/writetojs.html` ) );
$('.replace').attr('onclick' , "replacedFunc('12345')");
console.log($.html());
inner_content = $.html();
fs.writeFileSync( `${__dirname}/res/newwritetojs.html` , inner_content, 'utf8');
But what i get is
<div class="replace" onclick="replacedFunc('12345')">
how can i get ' instead of ' ??
node.js html-entities cheerio

I cannot reproduce the issue, there something more to it. Here is the test I've done jsfiddle.net/mvwf19js There no escaped quoted in the browser nor in the index.html file

Why is the usual XML character escaping a problem for you?

Cheerio is decoding HTML Entities by default, when needed you can turn off this feature by passing decodeEntities: false option
Here is an example:
$ = cheerio.load( fs.readFileSync( `${__dirname}/res/writetojs.html` ), {decodeEntities: false} );
