Usage

var decode = require('{%= name %}');

console.log(decode('<div>abc</div>'));
//=> '<div>abc</div>'

// get the default entities directly
console.log(decode.chars);

Characters

For performance, this library only handles the following common entities (split into groups for backward compatibility).

Default entities

Only the following entities are converted by default.

Character	Description	Entity Name	Entity Number
<	less than	&lt;	&#60;
>	greater than	&gt;	&#62;
&	ampersand	&amp;	&#38;
"	double quotation mark	&quot;	&#34;
'	single quotation mark (apostrophe)	&apos;	&#39;

Get the default entities as an object:

console.log(decode.chars);

Extra entities

Only the following entities are converted when 'extras' is passed as the second argument.

| Character | Description | Entity Name | Entity Number | | ¢ | cent | ¢ | ¢ | | £ | pound | £ | £ | | ¥ | yen | ¥ | ¥ | | € | euro | € | € | | © | copyright | © | © | | ® | registered trademark | ® | ® |

Example:

// convert only the "extras" characters
decode(str, 'extras');
// get the object of `extras` characters
console.log(decode.extras);

All entities

Convert both the defaults and extras:

decode(str, 'all');

Get all entities as an object:

console.log(decode.all);
