é showing up as &eacute in TextEdit I am opening a text file using Mac's TextEdit that has &amp;eacute; in it. &amp;eacute; is supposed to be showing up as é instead.

Is there a way to make TextEdit read it as é?
&amp;eacute; is one of the HTML forms of é and when &amp;eacute; is pasted as plain text... No, TextEdit will not convert it to é.

Either copy from a source that show it as é or use the Find and Replace... command in TextEdit to find &amp;eacute; and replace it with é.



As a side note, &amp;#233; and &amp;#xE9; also represent é in HTML.
