BRIEF DESCRIPTION

Wiki Menu needs to convert html entities

ACTION THAT PRODUCED BUG

Menu Selection: Editing a remote wiki page

DETAILS

I've discovered that when an AlphaTcl wiki page is fetched for editing, some
characters in the <textarea> block are actually html entitities that need to
be converted, as in

    Aida Package -&amp;gt; 

which should be presented in the editing window as

    Aida Package -&gt 

If there are not converted, when the page is saved the characters will not be
properly converted back and the text might be mangled.
