existing methods to unescape XML escaped characters.

... I'd look for apos - quotes - amp - gt - lt in sources and changes.
... or directly in String instances and then in their references ... looking for compiled methods, blocks and so on.

Hi Folks,

I am storing parsed content from XTreams parsing in the XMLElement that Xtreams parsing uses....(could be different from stock Squeak XML package per recent discussion here.)

The XMLElements escape certain characters:  https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSEQTP_liberty/com.ibm.websphere.wlp.doc/ae/rwlp_xml_escape.html

To get my content to display properly on Chrome, I have to unescape the escaped XML escaped characters.

I wrote a quick and dirty method to git-r-done....

unEscapeXMLEscapeCharaters: aString |xmls| xmls := aString copyReplaceAll:'&gt;' with:'>' asTokens:false. xmls := xmls copyReplaceAll:'&lt;' with:'<' asTokens:false. xmls := xmls copyReplaceAll:'&quote;' with:'"' asTokens:false. xmls := xmls copyReplaceAll:'&apos;' with:'''' asTokens:false. xmls := xmls copyReplaceAll:'&amp;' with:'&' asTokens:false. ^xmls

However, I have a nagging suspicion I have re-invented the wheel; although I did spend significant time hunting for one.

If anything obvious jumps out, please respond.

thx.
