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

API

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

decodeNonSyntaxEntities(html)

decodeNonSyntaxEntities('!!!');
//=> '!!!'
 
decodeNonSyntaxEntities('&&&');
//=> '&&&'
