[josm-dev] HTML entities

[rainerr]

I think the Jakarta Commons Lang package has what you are looking for:

public static java.lang.String unescapeHtml(java.lang.String str)

    Unescapes a string containing entity escapes to a string containing the
actual Unicode characters corresponding to the escapes. Supports HTML 4.0
entities.

    For example, the string "<Français>" will become
"<Français>"

    If an entity is unrecognized, it is left alone, and inserted verbatim
into the result string. e.g. ">&zzzz;x" will become ">&zzzz;x".

    Parameters:
        str - the String to unescape, may be null 
    Returns:
        a new unescaped String, null if null string input

http://commons.apache.org/lang/api-release/org/apache/commons/lang/StringEscapeUtils.html#unescapeHtml(java.lang.String)

Hope that helps,
Rainer
