I have some HTML encoded within an XML request I get through an AIF

  • 0

I have some HTML encoded within an XML request I get through an AIF web service.

The text I’m getting is of course escaped – I get &lt;br&gt; instead of <br> .

Is there a proper way to decode it? I don’t want to write something for the basic stuff, then deal with bug reports for the next decade, because I forgot an accented character I never knew existed…

The lame part is, that when I feed special HTML/XML characters to XMLTextWriter, it will properly encode them, but if I feed that same XML to XMLTextReader, it will not decode them.

Thanks.

    static void HtmlDecode(Args _args)
{
    str input   = '&lt;br&gt;';
    str output  = System.Web.HttpUtility::HtmlDecode(input);
    ;

    info(output);
}

    Result: <br>
