The index.html page (index page of the project) ahs the following title:

<title>Veículos</title>

After running the following command:

ng build --prod --aot --base-href ~/views/dist/

The HTML entity is replace by it's value in the destination folder (instead of keeping the escaped value):

<title>Veículos</title>

I'm almost positive that this didn't happen in the previous releases...

Are you considering this a defect? This appears to function properly in a web browser.

[luisabreu]

well, is there any justification for replacing the HTML entity with its value on the file that is copied to the dist folder? Loading in the browser ends up showing "veículos" instead of "veículos"...maybe it's related with the file's encoding?
