How to convert HTML entities to plain text in YQL or Y! Pipes?

Question

I have the source in html entities (eg: cover) I want to convert them into simple readable plain text (eg: abcdef...)

how can i do that using YQL or Yahoo Pipes? (eg: i want to convert cover into cover using YQL or Yahoo pipes)

How do you currently get the HTML entities? Would you be up for creating a [data table](http://developer.yahoo.com/yql/guide/yql-creating-opentables-chapter.html) (within which you can run JavaScript to do the decoding)? — salathe, Jan 11 '11 at 13:19

Use the following components:

select * from xslt where url="//foo.html" and stylesheet="//bar.xsl"

<!DOCTYPE xsl:stylesheet[
<!ENTITY 99 "c">
<!ENTITY 111 "o">
<!ENTITY 118 "v">
<!ENTITY 101 "e">
<!ENTITY 114 "r">
]>
