Rich Text appears as HTML code

Jeroen v MeenenJun 21 2023

Hi all,

IG -> Actions -> Download -> HTML

After upgrade from 21.1 to 22.2.4 Downloading an HTML Rich Text column appears as code rather than rich text.
When I compare a 21.1 HTML file with a 22.2.4 HTML file, the only difference is that the 22.2 version contains the following strings in the html column (added space to display correctly here):

& lt;
& quot;
& gt;
& #x2F;

Which are the escaped codes for characters
<
"
>
/

This has probably to do with the new Rich Text options in 22.2
https://apex.oracle.com/en/platform/features/whats-new-222/
I have tried all different combinations of:
- Format (Markdown / HTML)
- Display Rich Text (Y/N)
- Allow Custom HTML (Y/N)
- Strip Rich Text - Excel only (Y/N)

But none of these options downloaded the HTML correctly.

This used to work fine in 21.1 (see last column):

But now displays in 22.2 as:

Any pointers to how to resolve this are greatly appreciated.

Thank you!
Jeroen
