Package: xword
Version: 2.0.0~rc2-1
Severity: normal

The July 27, 2014 NY Times puzzle (attached) contains several occurrences of the
HTML entity "'" instead of actual apostrophe characters, and
these are not decoded before being displayed.

I don't know whether this is a violation of the Across Lite format
standard (if there is one), but a simple patch is

    import HTMLParser
    html = HTMLParser.HTMLParser()
    unescape = html.unescape

and then apply unescape to any strings (clues, title, etc.) from the
puzzle that are to be displayed.
