html entities

[Monte Goulding]

If you don't want to use a lookup table then pulling out these entities using repeat while matchchunk and in the loop setting the htmltext of a second field and doing chartonum on the text of the field would work.

So for example, if I have a word in Spanish, like "día" (accented i), if I put that into a text field and get the htmlText property of that field, is there any way to return the string "día" instead of "día"? When setting the htmlText property, either one works, but Rev always returns the latter.
