Encode special HTML characters

With this option you can activate or disable the encoding of special html characters. While other source cleaning options take effect when you hit the Clean HTML button, this one is making effect all the time when you modify the visual editor. When this setting is checked/unchecked the editors refresh immediately executing the character encoding as selected.

Let's see how does the HTML source of the equation below looks like with and without entity_encoding:

bR θ' cos2 θ − m x'' cos θ − m R θ'' cos2θ + m R θ' 2sin θ cos θ − m g sin θ − bR θ' sin2 θ = m R θ'' sin2θ + m R θ' 2sin θ cos θ

Encoding off:

<p><em>−<sup>b</sup>⁄<sub>R</sub> θ' cos<sup>2</sup> θ − m x'' cos θ − m R θ'' cos<sup>2</sup>θ + m R θ' <sup>2</sup>sin θ cos θ − m g sin θ − <sup>b</sup>⁄<sub>R</sub> θ' sin<sup>2</sup> θ = m R θ'' sin<sup>2</sup>θ + m R θ' <sup>2</sup>sin θ cos θ</em></p>
				

Encoding on:

<p><em>&minus;<sup>b</sup>&frasl;<sub>R</sub> &theta;' cos<sup>2</sup> &theta; &minus; m x'' cos &theta; &minus; m R &theta;'' cos<sup>2</sup>&theta; + m R &theta;' <sup>2</sup>sin &theta; cos &theta; &minus; m g sin &theta; &minus; <sup>b</sup>&frasl;<sub>R</sub> &theta;' sin<sup>2</sup> &theta; = m R &theta;'' sin<sup>2</sup>&theta; + m R &theta;' <sup>2</sup>sin &theta; cos &theta;<br /></em></p>
