Decodes all HTML entities including numerical ones to regular UTF-8 bytes.

Double-escaped entities will only be decoded once ("&amp;lt;" becomes "&lt;", not "<"). Be careful when using this function, as it will revert previous sanitization efforts (&lt;script&gt; will become <script>).

This method is not the opposite of Html::escape(). For example, this method will convert "&eacute;" to "é", whereas Html::escape() will not convert "é" to "&eacute;".

Parameters

string $text: The text to decode entities in.

Return value

string The input $text, with all HTML entities decoded once.
