Syntax/Parameters

Syntax

string = EntitiesToUTF ( string data );

Parameters

data

A string containing text to convert.

Return Value

Returns a string containing the converted string. Use the IsError, IsNotError and GetLastError functions to determine if an error occurred and to retrieve a formatted error code.

Any errors encountered during the parsing of the character entities are counted and returned in the last error.

Character entities can be SGML/HTML/XML numeric syntax as decimal or hex or can be HTML 5 character entity names.
