On a farily regular basis, I need to convert strings like this:

&lt;b&gt;foo &amp; bar&lt;/b&gt;

to this:

<b>foo & bar</b>

I have an ad-hoc dictionary for doing such translations. However emacs
seems to be shipped with at least 2. One located in etc/nxml/ and another
in lisp/leim/quail/sgml-input.el. Does anyone know through which APIs can
these dictionaries be accessed?

IIRC there's iso-sgml2iso (which uses yet another such dictionary).

Thanks. It's not as complete, but still useful.

Is there a reason not to unify all of them?  The HTML character codes
are not a quick-moving lot.

Lack of manpower?
