So, for example, you have the string "&lt;" and you want want to convert it to "<"? I think that could be tricky, it is certainly not what is meant by escaping, it is more de-escaping. Can you not start with the text in a simpler form before it is escaped? If you have only a limited set of substrings that need converting then I think you may just have to write code to convert them.
