Dear John,

require "CGI"
p CGI.unescapeHTML("<name>L&#xE4;tt B bed. Tv&#xE5; omg&#xE5;ngar A:0 och A:0</name>")

should do it.

Best regards,

Axel

I think this works correctly:

require 'rexml/document'
s = "<name>L&#xE4;tt B bed. Tv&#xE5; omg&#xE5;ngar A:0 och A:0</name>"
puts REXML::Text::unnormalize(s)

m.
