API docs generator: HTML special characters are getting escaped too many times

[kontaras]

This is a Bug Report

Problem:

When autogenerating HTML API documentation like https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/kubernetes-api/definitions/quantity-resource/ , the generator is encoding HTML special characters twice (for example, changing < to < and then escaping it again as <).

If you look at the source code comments, it says:
(Note that <suffix> may be empty, from the "" case in <decimalSI>.)
but looking at the kubernetes site in a browser, it is rendered as:
(Note that <suffix> may be empty, from the "" case in <decimalSI>.)

Proposed Solution:
