Hi,

I am using DIH to index some database fields. These fields contain html
formatted text in them. I use the 'HTMLStripTransformer' to remove that
markup. This works fine when the text is like for example:

<li>Item One</li> or *This is in Bold*

However when the text has HTML entity names like in:

&lt;li&gt;Item One&lt;/&gt; or &lt;b&gt;This is in Bold&lt;/b&gt;

NOTHING HAPPENS. 

Two questions.

(1) Is this the expected behavior of DIH HTMLStripTransformer?
(2) If yes, is there an another transformer that I can employ first to turn
these html entities into their usual symbols that can then be removed by the
DIH HTMLStripTransformer?

Thanks
