Sorry, cannot reasonably report this in any more proper manner in the hurry.

The character & somehow gets garbled here when viewed through Lemmy:

Edit: Seems like this is a lemmy problem in general with quotation marks in the spoiler summary block. If you are on a lemmy instance and put this into the markdown, it will render the same way:

"Quotes" get garbled  
That summary above is messed up.

So, this isn't a PieFed issue at all, but something to do with lemmy's markdown to html conversion improperly url-escaping quotes when it is in a <summary> tag.

~~Ok, I was really confused about this since I couldn't reproduce this at all. However, this seems to only apply to quotes that are in a spoiler header. I made a codeberg issue for this.~~
