RE: converting html special characters

["Pros Chum" <pros@codeedu.com>]

The attached Java file may be of help.  It's from an open-source program so
you may need to check the GPL license if you're going to include it in a
commercial product.  But I suppose they wouldn't really care that much if
you're just borrowing a utility class like this and not a core special
algorithm.
As always, consult with your attorney for guidence or get professional
advice since
I'm not a lawyer or play one on TV.

I'd say regex's for this is a bit overkill, since it's a simple
single-character mapping exercise.
