Even if it were, it wouldn't affect the output of cat, whose job is to display the contents of the file verbatim.

There are programs that can output html files properly, they are called web browsers. Use lynx, links, elinks, w3m or whatever fits you to cat html files. What the OP want can't be achieved with locales, at least I can't think of a way though I am admittedly no expert in the internals of the localization subsystem. Cheers. -- Jesús Guerrero
