[R] is there a Decode HTML function somewhere (similar to URLdecode)?

[Tony Breyal]

(I've just realised that the example above might not be clear when
viewed in a browser)

So just to clarify, I would like to convert HTML entities into the
ASCII equivalent using R, saving the results to a plain text file.

For example:

x <- paste("i", "s", "n", "&", "a", "p", "o", "s", ";", "t", sep = "")

would become the following, when output to the plain text file:

> "isn't"


Thank you again for your time,
Tony Breyal
