Problem/Motivation

In the Advanced links tab in the CKEditor 5 plugin setting section (under Text Formats Editors), the less than and greater than characters are encoded twice, so it's appears as < and >.

Steps to reproduce

Update to 2.3.3
Clear your cache
Go to one of the Text Formats and Editors and select one of the formats that allows links (ie. rich_text; /admin/config/content/formats/manage/rich_text)
Go to the CKEditor 5 plugin settings and swtich to the Advanced links tab.

Proposed resolution

Remove the recently added HTML::escape for the placeholder text https://git.drupalcode.org/project/editor_advanced_link/-/commit/d156b5d....

*note* placeholder text will be escaped (see https://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/core%21lib%21Drupal%21Component%21Rend...)

Version: 2.3.x-dev » 2.3.3

(I just realized I had set this to 2.3.x-dev and not 2.3.3; fixed)

Oh goodness, I misread that (and thought the 2.3.x-dev branch had been updated).

I wasn't able to reproduce the issue reported in issue 3551244 and it looks like the 2.3.x-dev branch hasn't changed since my report, so I guess the 2.3.x-dev Version is still accurate.

I just updated my 10.5 drupal site to 10.5.7 and in my drupal 11.2.9 sandbox and validated that I'm still seeing the issue.

My apologies for the 'noise'.
