💅 NAME 💅

decode-web — it's the web-encoding one, bestie, no cap ✨

🎀 PURPOSE 🎀

Decode a web (HTML)-encoded string. That's it. That's the whole job. And it ate. 💖

🦋 SYNTAX 🦋

decode-web <string> [ input-length <length> ]

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so listen. decode-web takes <string> — which was made by encode-web or honestly any other web-encoding software, we don't gatekeep — and it decodes it, then stores the result right back into it. Same variable. In place. Iconic behaviour tbh. 👑

Which means: if you need <string> to stay unchanged, you gotta make a copy first with copy-string. Do not skip this. The way that decode-web will just overwrite your whole vibe... 😭

And if you only wanna decode a number of leading bytes in <string>? Use the "input-length" clause and specify <length>. Slay. 🫶

Also go look at encode-web, they're literally a matched set. 💜

🌸 EXAMPLES 🌸

Decode the web-encoded string "str" — after this, it holds a decoded string. Main character transformation fr fr. 🧚
