EPUB Entity Decoding (Entity Decode)

Restore HTML numeric entities in EPUB that are difficult to manually edit (such as `ी`) to readable and editable UTF-8 characters. The tool only processes text nodes, does not translate content, and does not modify layout structure.

  • Directly edit text in Hindi, Arabic, and other languages in Sigil's Code View without facing numerous `&#x...;` encodings.
  • Suitable for manual proofreading after translation, typo correction, terminology unification, and chapter detail fine-tuning.
  • Facilitates searching and batch replacing multilingual content in text tools like VS Code, Notepad++, etc.

Processing Scope (By File Type)

Common formats requiring decoding (xhtml/html/xml/ncx/opf) are checked by default. You can further limit the scope using "File Path Filter (Regex)".

If the source book contains text in non-standard extension files, add the extensions above to avoid omissions.
