Online Html Decoder

I have some HTML stored in a database and I am generating an static HTML file out of it. However when i open the file in the browser, the font doesn't render as I expect it.

I have tracked down the problem and I see it is because of & quot;

<p><span style="font-family: &quot;Roboto Regular&quot;;">Some text</span></p>

Now if I replace the & quot; with double quotes, it works fine.

This is also generated through C#. What is the best approach to fix this?Should I just use Replace function to convert them to quotes or is there a library that I can use to do it more efficiently? or is it even simpler to fix.

Thanks for your thoughts.

I am using a rich text editor on my web application when it goes to save the data into the database it convert the ≥ into ≥. Using the WebUtility.HtmlEncode class it will not Encode ≥ into ≥ so I am not sure what is correct?

Is the rich text editor correct should ≥ encode to ≥?

Given the text

<b>This is some text</b>

I want to write it to my page so that it shows up like this:

<b>This is some text</b>

and not like this

This is some text

using escape("<b>This is some text</b>") gives me this lovely gem in firefox

%3Cb%3EThis%20is%20some%20text%3C/b%3E

not exaclty what I'm after. Any ideas?

Apparently, this is harder to find than I thought it would be. And it even is so simple...

Is there a function equivalent to PHP's htmlspecialchars built into Javascript? I know it's fairly easy to implement that yourself, but using a built-in function, if available, is just nicer.

For those unfamiliar with PHP, htmlspecialchars translates stuff like <htmltag/> into <htmltag/>

I know that escape() and encodeURI() do not work this way.

I have bound data to a repeater control in ab asp.net application. When the data is displayed in plain HTML text in the browser it comes with these characters: â€. I am unable to figure out the reason behind this.
