Is there a way in R to convert HTML Character Entity Encodings?
I would like to convert HTML character entities like
&
to &
or
>
to >
For Perl exists the package HTML::Entities which could do that, but I couldn't find something similar in R.
I also tried iconv()
but couldn't get satisfying results. Maybe there is also a way using the XML
package but I haven't figured it out yet.
