 For example, in the description for
 [https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wp_transition_comment_status/
 wp_transition_comment_status()] there is a reference to a hook that looks
 like this:

 `{@see 'comment_$new_status_$comment->comment_type'}`

 However, it fails to be recognized as a hook due to the presence of `&`
 and `;` (that were introduced by the encoding of `>` to `>`) and the
 `-` that the regex in `link_internal_element()` doesn't expect. Thus, the
 resulting link is the fallback assumption that the reference is to a
 function.

 ''(Note that as of this posting there is an unrelated bug that also
 affects the aforemention link, which will be addressed in #2881.)''
