.getDisplayText() to decode html entities (Aspose.Diagram Java 22.10, .vsd files)

Aspose.Diagram Product Family
1

In some cases the text contains html character entities (e.g. &) Visio visual basic macros properly return the unicode text, but aspose sometimes doesn’t. It would be nice to have getDisplayText() to perform a html unescape, so the two outputs (aspose and visio) are consistent.

Visio version: MS Visio Professional 2016

Aspose.Diagram version (Java): aspose-diagram-22.10

I’ve attached an example file, you can check the text from visio with the following Visual Basic macro (select the shape in visio - e.g. with mouse or in drawing explorer - before running the script).

Sub GetNameU()
    Set sel = ActiveWindow.Selection
    sel.IterationMode = 0
    Set shp = sel.PrimaryItem
    Debug.Print shp.Text
End Sub

Thanks for the previous set of fixes.
