As Martin suggested, parse-xml-fragment() will do the job as long as all of
the escaped markup is well-formed. If whatbs been escaped is HTML that may
have come from a process that produced not-well-formed markup, for example:

<root>
    <p>&lt;em&gt;End tags? We donbt need no stinking end tags![1]</p>
</root>

then the problem is a little harder. What Ibve found successful in this case
is the Validator.nu HTML parser. It will parse any input and produce a
well-formed document that conforms to the parsing rules of HTML5. Some
post-processing may be necessary to tidy it back up again (removing the HTML5
namespace, removing the <html> wrapper, etc. but thatbs *much* easier once
you have an XML fragment).

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
