O$: HTML Control to display/fix incorrect HTML

Hi List,
We use the HTML Control component to display some simple HTML pages and
that works great.
However, we noticed that those HTML pages do not use the correct
entities.
For instance:
<p>Live & let live</p>
instead of:
<p>Live & let live</p>
Now that we've begun to display the French version of those webpages,
that has become a problem because there are a lot more occurrences of
special characters.
The problem lies of course with the HTML code that is incorrect, but we
cannot update the source files.
We can only read the HTML code and display it in the HTML Control.
Anyone know what the best practice would be to fix the HTML code before
displaying it?
I can't encode the entire page at once because then the tags will also
be converted to HTML entities.
I've been thinking of parsing through the HTML code and only converting
the text between tags, but I fear that might take too much time.
Any ideas?
Best regards,
Nick Renders
