<p>Hello & world</p> → <p>Hello & world</p>

Keep in mind
HTML text escaping is not a universal sanitizer for every context. Entities are decoded one layer at a time; input tags and scripts are never inserted into the live page.
Common questions
Why does &lt; become < instead of <? It was escaped twice. Decoding one layer at a time avoids changing entities that are meant to remain visible.
