NAME

MKDoc::XML::DecodeHO - Decode (H)TML (O)nly

SYNOPSIS

  use MKDoc::XML::DecodeHO;

  # turn $string into "© & ®"
  my $string = '© & ®'
  $string    = MKDoc::XML::DecodeHO->process ($string);

SUMMARY

MKDoc::XML::Decode is a very simple module which decodes HTML entities only, but NOT the following XML entities:

  '
  "
  >
  <
  &

That's it. If you also wish to decode the above XML entities, use it in conjunction with MKDoc::XML::Decode.

In MKDoc everything is stored as UTF-8. Since Unicode is a character set wide enough, HTML and numerical entities are not needed. This modules turns them into their actual character.

This module is heavily stolen from HTML::Entities.

API

my $decoded = MKDoc::XML::DecodeHO->process ($html);

Does what is said in the summary.
