attributionPlainText

The attribution string as plain text.

RasterTileSpec.attributionHtml is HTML because that is the form MapLibre's attribution ornament renders. A renderer with no such ornament still has to show the credit — OpenStreetMap's and Esri's tile policies both require it — so rather than drop it or print &copy; <a href=…>, the markup comes off here.

&amp; is decoded last so an escaped entity does not turn into a live one.
