Remove html encoding for characters using Notepad++ [duplicate]

Question

I would like to change the code view for my XML template from:

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;

To:

<p style="text-align: justify;">

This is an example but it's the whole file that I need to be able to read..

What's the proper encoding language so I can read the XML file exported from MySql. I will need to edit it and re-import it. Please if you can advise, it's a huge file. — user3001925

Thanks a lot for your answer! I'm running the plugin right now..still waiting for the end results. Just a last question sorry, do I need to re-encode before importing back the XML file to MySql? Any idea?

@user3001925 You probably need to do this as there is no function in mySQL to decode html. Check out here.

Is it normal that it takes so long to decode? It's more than 15 mins now..and still running..

@user3001925 How large is your file?

@user3001925 It seems not that strange since it's so large. Give it some time.
