Seeing as on insertion of an article, quotes etc are converted to HTML entities, is there a core function that will allow me to reverse that with template code?

You can turn the behavior off altogether, if you don’t want or need it.

We do need it.
It’s just that, we then pull some articles out of the database in ‘xml format’
We essentially just want apostrophes etc to act like normal, such as, http://feeds.engadget.com/weblogsinc/engadget
The problem is, if you run {exp:xml_encode} on & etc, it still doesnt validate correctly as that is HTML, and shouldn’t be in a feed at all.
So yeah, trying to figure out a way to convert back to straight text from within a template.
Is enabling PHP on output the only way?
