Encoded HTML Characters

194 views Asked by Volearix At 11 September 2024 at 08:38

First off, I am NOWHERE near an expert on HTML, I would be nervous to say I'm a novice, but II am currently working with some html being returned within a web service XML document. One of the stored values provides me with this HTML coding for our website which I am charged with modifying. As you can see, all of the code below has a bunch special characters which are being replaced with codes (i.e. &lt, etc). Is there a page anywhere that would do this translation for me if I were to write some code of my own or do I just have to suck it up, look up all of the character codes myself, and manually replace them? Also, if anyone knows what this is method of HTML is called, that would be helpful as well.

Thank you!

Make new HTML file (like c:\myfile.html) with following content:

<html><body>
the code you posted
</body></html>

Save it somewhere you can easily look it up in a browser. Point your browser to that file using something like file:///C:/myfile.html . Copy the contents showed in your browser and you get the HTML code you wanted.
