How to translate HTML entities onto a NSString in Objective C

Question

I have a question. My webmethod gives a text back with a lot of HTML entities. You can see an example below.

lt;p&gtKRC Genk lanceert een nieuw mini-abonnement voor de 2 resterende thuiswedstrijden in de Europa League. Deze verkoop is enkel voor bestaande abonnees, die nog geen mini-abonnment voor de 3 wedstrijden aankochten.&amp;nbsp;&ltbr &gt;&ltbr &gt

Does anybody know how I can translate them in objective-C? I am searching for hours for a solution but don't find anything.

Kind regards.

I cannot see any HTML or XML attributes at your examlpe text. All I see is &ltbr >&ltbr &gt Which are escaped spacial characters — pro_metedor, Oct 02 '12 at 10:22

You have problem with HTML escaped characters, these are not HTML markups. You can find the solution here:
