    Hi

    I have some QML Text objects which contain HTML escaped text. How can I obtain the plain, unformatted version of this text? Looking really for the opposite of Qt.escape().

    I have tried creating a QTextDocument, setting the escaped text with setHtml, then calling toPlainText(). This successfully removes HTML tags however, escaped text such as & ldquo; gets replaced with ?s.

      QML supports JavaScript regular expressions. You can try with them.
