Description

It should be nice that the sample for URL preview example in https://matrix.org/docs/spec/client_server/r0.6.1#get-matrix-media-r0-preview-url include some HTML escaped char, such has `&` or any other one, to avoid implementation bug on clients like https://github.com/vector-im/element-android/issues/2766. The format could also be explicitly defined somewhere in the doc.
