Re: [xsl] How do you un-escape in HTML

No. If you had that you would be fine and it would all just work
(although actually you don't need to quote ' as ' unless you want
to)


What you have is double escaped, first you have replaced ' by &_apos;
then you have replaced that by &_amp;apos;

The solution is not to do that.

If I read your replace script right then you will do the same with < as
well:

   '* Get rid of occurrences of '<'
   strContentCandidate = Replace(strContentCandidate, "<", "&lt;")
   
   '* Get rid of occurrences of '>'
   strContentCandidate = Replace(strContentCandidate, ">", "&gt;")
   
   '* Get rid of occurrences of '&'
   strContentCandidate = Replace(strContentCandidate, "&", "&amp;")
   

won't that replace < by &_lt; and then &_amp;lt;
