Dirty string with ampersands

[Qrzysio]

How about a bit more dirty string with ampersands after htmlspecialchars()?

$str = '*** ____ "Hello world" Anything ___ *** - something';

The above gives us quot-hello-world-quot-anything-something. Shouldn't the slugify cut everything between & and ;?

No, it should not. The purpose of this library is to replace special characters with -, not clean up strings. Why are you running htmlspecialchars() before passing the string to slugify?
