I recommend he does this:
perl -MHTML::Entities -ne 'print decode_entities($_)' < page.html > decoded_page.html
(or "cat page.html | perl -MHTML::Entities -ne 'print
decode_entities($_)' > decoded_page.html" if you find the useless
use of cat a bit clearer)
rather than manually copy and paste a handful of lines into a
browser search bar.

Well if you ever want to found a business around de-obfuscating
HTML-encoded text then I hope you will consider your competitors
undercutting you with the above one-liner before you have to fire
all your third world workers who are busy pasting the text into
browser search bars. :)
Cheers,
