Steps to reproduce

• Open chapter of light novel, for example "The Beginning After The End" chapter 176 on LightNovelPub
• Find visible html tags like <i></i> in the text

Expected behavior

The html should be rendered:

• <i></i> tags should not be shown and the text inside them should be in italic
• <b></b> tags should not be shown and the text inside them should be in bold
• etc...

Actual behavior

The html tags are shown and have no effect on the text

This is actually not an issue of LNReader, since it is also visible on the source. The reason for this is that LightNovelPub for some reason escapes < and >. You can fix this with custom JS.

This one fixes it for <i> and <b> tags.

const c = document.querySelector("#LNReader-chapter");
c.innerHTML = c.innerHTML.replace(/\&lt;(\/)?i\&gt;/g,(a,g)=>{return g ?"</i>":"<i>"}).replace(/\&lt;(\/)?b\&gt;/g,(a,g)=>{g? "</b>": "<b>"}

And this one fixes it for all tags. However all text that is between < and > also disappears.

const c = document.querySelector("#LNReader-chapter");
c.innerHTML = c.innerHTML.replace(/\&lt;(\/)?(.*?)\&gt;/g,(a,g,g2)=>{return g2 ?`</${g2}>`:`<${g}>`})

Furthermore this is actually a plugin issue. So it should be posted on https://github.com/LNReader/lnreader-plugins
