decode-non-syntax-entities v1.0.0

decode-non-syntax-entities

Decode character escapes except for HTML syntax characters, for example < and &

const decodeNonSyntaxEntities = require('decode-non-syntax-entities');

decodeNonSyntaxEntities("<p title='rock&apos;n&apos;roll'> &gt;_&lt; </p>");
//=> "<p title='rock&apos;n&apos;roll'> &gt;_&lt; </p>"

Other decoder libraries usually produce a broken HTML in this case:

otherDecoder("<p title='rock&apos;n&apos;roll'> &gt;_&lt; </p>");
//=> "<p title='rock'n'roll'> >_< </p>"

Installation

Use npm.

npm install decode-non-syntax-entities
