QString from QNetworkReply, how to decode remaining HTML

[reonZ]

I have a QNetworkReply which contains a HTML page, i can use QString::fromLatin1 (or even QString::fromUtf8 which gives the same result) to get a usable QString and parse it with QRegularExpression, the problem is that some encoded HTML characters are still like ' or & and i don't know how to get the character back from it.

Hi,

One possibility would be to use QString::replace to change them back to what you want.

Hope it helps

@SGaist So i have to know in advance all the possible encoded character and manually decode them ? that seems unproductive

AFAIK, these codes are standard so you would have to write one method that goes through the list of them and apply that to your string.
