fix(readme): decode HTML entities in TOC dropdown labels

[andrii-bodnar]

Hello, and thank you for creating such a great tool. It's now my go-to way of exploring NPM packages!

I noticed a small bug in the ToC dropdown. It shows & for headings that containes & (and similarly for other HTML entities like <, ", etc.).

For example: https://npmx.dev/package/@lingui/core#readme

The dropdown displays the Installation & Usage option instead of Installation & Usage.

In this PR, I added HTML entities decoding when rendering TOC labels in ReadmeTocDropdown using the existing decodeHtmlEntities function from the formatters. Server-side decoding was tried but didn’t resolve the issue, so decoding is done in the component.

Please let me know if this is the right fix.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The ReadmeTocDropdown.vue component has been updated to decode HTML entities in text rendering. An import for the decodeHtmlEntities utility function was added, and the component's template now applies this function to text values across the table of contents dropdown items at multiple nesting levels. The change is limited to text transformation with no modifications to component logic, control flow, or event handling.
