title: Python: convert HTML string to HTML
body: <p>I am scraping a page with <code>infinite scroll</code>. When my <code>scrapy</code> spider hits the page and it returns some json like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>{
      "page": 2,
      "num_items": 30,
      "content": "&lt;div data-doc_id=\"1234\" class=\"item_cell has_cover lazy_images\" dir=\"auto\"&gt;...."
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>So the HTML of the page is in returns as a string with some escape character. Now I want to scrape this string. How do I convert it back to HTML?</p>
