Template:HtmlDecode/doc

Usage

{{HtmlDecode}} is a template that replaces HTML encoded characters with the un-encoded version

This Template was created to handle Magic Words like {{PAGENAME}} that will output HTML-encoded versions of page characters, such as apostrophes. Which can cause some issues with string comparisons.

" (double quote %22) is converted to " (34 is the decimal value of hexadecimal 22); in standard HTML/XML style it could also be converted to ".
