dsh-html-decode

Crawled pages, API responses, and raw logs are riddled with HTML entities like <, &, and ' that make the text painful to read or process in downstream pipelines. dsh-html-decode addresses exactly this: it accepts a block of entity-encoded text and returns clean, human-readable plain text in a single call, eliminating the need for manual regex substitution or bolting on a separate escape library.

The plugin is implemented in pure Node.js with zero network calls. All decoding logic runs locally, so it behaves identically in air-gapped sandboxes, internal CI runners, and offline environments without any risk from external service flakiness. Usage is frictionless: after installing, invoke the tool the plugin registers in your session, pass in the encoded string, and the decoded result comes back immediately.

If you work with crawler post-processing, data-cleaning pipelines, front-end rendering debugging, or simply want to turn a wall of HTML entities into readable text during a conversation, this lightweight utility was built for you. No configuration, no network dependency, no extra runtime — just clean text, done in one step.
