Converting from HTML



Hi all, i'm trying to find a way to convert an HTML-originated URL into one I can use in cocoa.

Example input: <link type="application/rss+xml" rel="alternate" href="/ search/unique&amp;stuff&amp;here" />

I know the URL that this data is fetched from, so I can prefix that to achieve a full URL again, but I need to convert the &amp;
into plain ampersands, but there could be all kinds of HTML characters in there. Is there a category on NSString out there I could
use for this?


I read somewhere that I could use an NSAttributedString and initWithHTML, but that leaves me with an empty string. I'm guessing because it's
inside a <head> tag? Not sure.


I'm also open to using something more intelligent than my current method of searching the string for "<link " to find the rss feed, if there's perhaps an
easier way that would also convert the HTML characters for me. Maybe webkit has something for me?


I look forward to your replies, and you have my thanks in advance.
