克里斯的回答很好，很优雅，但如果值未定义就失败了。简单的改进就能让它稳固:

function htmlDecode(value) {
   return (typeof value === 'undefined') ? '' : $('<div/>').html(value).text();
}

你需要解码所有编码的HTML实体或只是&本身?

如果你只需要处理&然后你可以这样做:

var decoded = encoded.replace(/&/g, '&');

如果你需要解码所有HTML实体，那么你可以不使用jQuery:

var elem = document.createElement('textarea');
elem.innerHTML = encoded;
var decoded = elem.value;

请注意下面Mark的评论，他强调了这个答案早期版本中的安全漏洞，并建议使用textarea而不是div来减轻潜在的XSS漏洞。无论使用jQuery还是纯JavaScript，这些漏洞都存在。

我疯狂地做了这个函数，即使不是完全的，也应该是非常详尽的:

function removeEncoding(string) {
    return string.replace(/&Agrave;/g, "À").replace(/&Aacute;/g, "Á").replace(/&Acirc;/g, "Â").replace(/&Atilde;/g, "Ã").replace(/&Auml;/g, "Ä").replace(/&Aring;/g, "Å").replace(/&agrave;/g,

这样用:

let decodedText = removeEncoding("Ich heiße David");
console.log(decodedText);

另外，这花了一个半小时才完成。

CMS的答案很好，除非你想要取消转义的HTML非常长，超过65536个字符。因为在Chrome中，内部HTML被分割成许多子节点，每个子节点最长65536个，你需要将它们连接起来。这个函数也适用于很长的字符串:

function unencodeHtmlContent(escapedHtml) {
  var elem = document.createElement('div');
  elem.innerHTML = escapedHtml;
  var result = '';
  // Chrome splits innerHTML into many child nodes, each one at most 65536.
  // Whereas FF creates just one single huge child node.
  for (var i = 0; i < elem.childNodes.length; ++i) {
    result = result + elem.childNodes[i].nodeValue;
  }
  return result;
}

有关innerHTML最大长度的更多信息，请参阅以下答案:https://stackoverflow.com/a/27545633/694469

如果你正在使用jQuery:

function htmlDecode(value){ 
  return $('<div/>').html(value).text(); 
}

否则，使用Strictly Software的Encoder对象，它有一个很棒的htmlDecode()函数。
