@htmldecode doesn't work?

[jpavel]

It seems only to recognize & and no other entities:

echo "%@htmldecode[foo & bar]"
"foo & bar"

echo "%@htmldecode[foo > bar]"
"foo > bar"

Anyone else work around this problem?

I can reproduce this. Wouldn't be difficult to re-implement as a plugin function.

Suggestions:

Try the DEHTML command from @Charles Dye's Textutils plugin.

You could also try the /simple=16 option of TPIPE.

I've uploaded a plugin with replacement @HTMLDECODE and @HTMLENCODE functions: HtmlDecode Plugin

It supports well over 100 entities, plus numeric entities and high-order Unicode characters.
