.text() should decode HTML entities

[rybesh]

jQuery .text() decodes HTML entities:

> $('<p>M&amp;M</p>').text()
"M&M"

cheerio's does not:

> cheerio.load("<p>M&amp;M</p>")("p").text()
'M&amp;M'

Ahh yah, there's some encoding/decoding problems that need to be addressed - just need to find the time to resolve these issues.

@matthewmueller
In which file I can find the encoding/decoding methods?
I want to have a quick fix myself before you release your official patch.

Thanks!

Hi @acsaga , I haven't added them yet - I've been caught up on some other features. If you create a fix for this, I'd encourage you to open up a pull request.

For what it is worth, I 'solved' this issue by just using jsdom.

entities = require('jsdom/lib/jsdom/browser/htmlencoding')
entities.HTMLDecode(''')
