XML entities with dash not handled

[roptat]

Describe the issue

Despite adding the "xml-text" flag to all my strings, some of them are not properly handled as XML text. I noticed this happens when the text has XML entities with dashes. This happens when translating strings such as "Popt-&popt-version;" (which docbook successfully converts to a version number, since the entity is declared).

I already tried

• I've read and searched the documentation.
• I've searched for similar filed issues in this repository.

Steps to reproduce the behavior

By going to a string such as https://translate.linuxfromscratch.org/translate/beyond-linux-from-scratch/general_genlib_popt/fr/?sort_by=-priority%2Cposition&offset=7 one can see that the flags contain "xml-text", but the XML entity is not highlighted. In addition, this triggers a false-positive check (in French, there should be a space before ";", but this can't be the case here, since it's an XML entity).

Expected behavior

As with other XML entities, such as in https://translate.linuxfromscratch.org/translate/beyond-linux-from-scratch/general_genlib_popt/fr/?checksum=3571beb2fdf64b63&sort_by=-priority,position I expected it to be highlighted and function as part of the XML syntax. It should not trigger a check like this.
