Here is any example (see screenshot) of an encode HTML entity which I trapped and decoded (in a custom JS function I wrote) yesterday:

Code:

However, I don't think these occasional encoded HTML entities are causing the rare bug where the correct answer to a T/F statement is null, causing some rare problem I have am still debugging.

Cheers.

HXNAME2ID(1)							  HTML-XML-utils						      HXNAME2ID(1)

NAME
hxname2id - move some NAME and ID attributes from an A to its parent SYNOPSIS
hxname2id [ -x ] [ file ] DESCRIPTION
The hxname2id command reads an HTML file and looks for elements with an A element as first child, with no intervening text other than whitespace. If that A element has an ID or NAME attribute, it is moved to the parent element and removed from the A. Because Netscape 4 doesn't understand ID attributes, it was common practice to write <H2><A NAME="sect7">...</A></H2> instead of <H2 ID="sect7">. This program can be used to convert such old HTML files to the new convention. Other programs in this suite, such as hxmultitoc(1), require IDs on headings instead of A elements with NAME attributes. So it is useful to run hxname2id prior to running hxmultitoc and similar program. hxname2id can be used in a pipe. OPTIONS
The following options are supported: -x Use XML conventions: empty elements are written with a slash at the end: <IMG /> OPERANDS
The following operand is supported: file The name of an HTML file. If absent, standard input is read instead. DIAGNOSTICS
The following exit values are returned: 0 Successful completion. > 0 An error occurred in the parsing of the HTML file. hxname2id will try to correct the error and produce output anyway. SEE ALSO
asc2xml(1), hxmultitoc(1), hxnormalize(1), hxnum(1), hxtoc(1), xml2asc(1) BUGS
The error recovery for incorrect HTML is primitive. 6.x 10 Jul 2011 HXNAME2ID(1)
