Hi @Vitaliy-1

I have the same issue as @MathiasCimelli.
It occurs when the title tag of a section contains & which is the HEX encoded HTML entity for "&" (ampersand).

Here is an example.

<sec id="sec1-2">
<title>BACKGROUND &#x0026; AIMS</title>
<p> ....</p>

In this example the parsing of the title breaks and the HTML generated by JatsParser contains an open <h2> tag
without the corresponding </h2> closure.

This happens with version 2.1.9.3 of JatsParser.

The same issue also occurs in an older versions of JatsParser (compatible with OJS 3.1,2) but the effect is different:
in that case the <h2> gets closed but the portion of the title after the & is cut. So, with the above XML example the generated HTML would be
<h2>BACKGROUND</title>
