Follow up to #29029

The XML data received from the comments endpoint has an inconsistent encoding; some entities are encoded once and others are encoded twice. When the comment list is loaded the comments are fetched using GetComments, which handles all that, and therefore shows the messages and author names as expected.

However, when a new comment is posted the list is not got again; instead the new comment is loaded from the comment data returned after posting it. This is done in NewComment, which did not decode the messages nor the author names, and therefore showed, for example, & instead of &.

To solve that now the same decoding logic used in GetComments is applied too in NewComment.

@Pytal I extracted decodeHtmlEntities to its own file and I assigned the copyright of that file to you, as you added the original function. I hope that is fine :-)

How to test

  • Set the display name of the user to John "The Hangman" Ruth
  • Open the Files app
  • Show the sidebar for any file
  • Open the Comments tab
  • Send a new comment with text < & >

Result with this pull request

The text of the comment just added is < & >, and it was sent by John "The Hangman" Ruth

Result without this pull request

The text of the comment just added is &amp;lt; &amp; &amp;gt;, and it was sent by John &quot;The Hangman&quot; Ruth; if the page is reloaded and the Comments tab is shown again now the message has the expected author and text
