== Decode ({{mono|1=&copy;}} → ©) == : '''Note 2021-09-26: Possible bug: Decoding <code>&ThinSpace;</code> works, but <code>&thinsp;</code> doesn't.''' :Decodes [[List of XML and HTML character entity references|Named Entities]] ''from'' entity name ''into'' a regular (unicode) character: :<code>&copy;</code> → <code>©</code> :<code>&gt;</code> → <code>></code> All welldefined named entities are decoded ([https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/named-characters.html#named-character-references HTML Named character references], formally: as defined in the [https://www.php.net/get_html_translation_table PHP table]). :A regular, rendered sentence: ::"At 100 °F, & with a "burning" sun above, we , we ⁄walked⁄." :In code: ::"<code>At 100&nbsp;&deg;F, & with a &quot;burning&quot; sun above, we &frasl;walked&frasl;.</code>" -- wikitext :Processing: :<code><nowiki>{{#invoke:decodeEncode|decode|s=At 100 °F, & with a "burning" sun above, we ⁄walked⁄.}}</nowiki></code> → ::<code>{{#invoke:decodeEncode|decode|s=At 100 °F, & with a "burning" sun above, we ⁄walked⁄.}}</code> -- In code: straight characters, no named entities. :Renders, again: ::"At 100 °F, & with a "burning" sun above, we ⁄walked⁄." ===Decode a reduced set only=== By setting {{para|subset_only|true}}, only these five entity names are decoded: '&lt;', '&gt;', '&amp;', '&quot;', '&nbsp;' (that is, into '<', '>', '&', '"', ' '). :'''Note''': There is a difference with the relevant Lua parameter. (This only concerns your task if you also work directly with the Lua mw.text.decode function). Lua documentation defines parameter {{para|decodeNamedEntities}}, having this effect: when ''omitted or false'', only the reduced set of entities is recognized and decoded. This use of 'false' is ''inverted'' in using {{para|subset_only}}: {{para|decodeNamedEntities|false}} = {{para|subset_only|true}}. :Also, this module ignores the "omitted" logic: {{para|subset_only}} should be set explicitly to 'true' to be effective.
