htmltext Patch: Special characters prepended with A-Grave character

[GoogleCodeExporter]

FIX: HTML Special Characters (those with a leading ampersand) and being 
prepended with the A-Grave character. This fix removes all A-Grave characters 
that are directly in front of another HTML special character. 
Other suggestion: add table and tr tags to the add newline after switch and add 
table to the add newline before switch.

Are the  characters there due to incorrect encoding of the HTML file? e.g. 
you are trying to load a file originally encoded UTF-8, but you have now opened 
it using ISO-8859-1.

See: 
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1461907/html-encoding-issues-character-showin
g-up-instead-of-nbsp, http://ask.metafilter.com/71246/What-the-%C3%82

html2text doesn't deal with character encoding at all (it assumes the input 
source text is already under the correct encoding).

Alternatively, can you post an example of some text that fails to load 
correctly, to go with the patch (and to use in a test).

I think this is due to character encoding.
