  You could use recode or a similar perl command, as shown in https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5929492/bash-script-to-convert-from-html-entities-to-characters 

  Kind regards,

HTML chars is part of the Geany repository, so it doesn't have an
individual maintainer, unlike those in the Geany-plugins collection.

You can make an issue requesting the feature on the Geany repo and see
if you can interest "somebody".

Thank you, brilliant idea! I chose to add

perl -C -MHTML::Entities -pe 'decode_entities($_);' %f > %f.html

as a build command and it worked great on my (single) example.


While the above works great, it saves the output to a new file. Is it possible to configure the build command so that the file I am viewing (and running the command on) gets updated in the view?
