problem with SPECIAL CHARACTERS into excerpt

special characters are well showed in full articule, but excerpt show a bad decode

Version 1.0.2 Added To Extend:

• Re-worked $Blog->create_excerpt() method to deal with special characters.
  File changes described below:
  

Before

Code:

public function create_excerpt($content, $start, $maxchars)
{
    $content = substr($content, $start, $maxchars);
    $pos = strrpos($content, " ");
    if ($pos>0)
    {
        $content = substr($content, $start, $pos);
    }
    $content = html_entity_decode(strip_tags(strip_decode($content)));
    $content = str_replace("Read The Full", "", $content);
    return $content;
}

After

Code:

public function create_excerpt($content, $start, $maxchars)
{
    $content = substr($content, $start, $maxchars);
    $pos = strrpos($content, " ");
    if ($pos>0)
    {
        $content = substr($content, $start, $pos);
    }
    $content = htmlspecialchars_decode(strip_tags(strip_decode($content)));
    $content = str_replace(i18n_r(BLOGFILE.'/READ_FULL_ARTICLE'), "", $content);
    return $content;
}

Note this change should also be noted in the "Click here for tips and tricks for custom blog pages" section.
Currently it lists "Decode Content: <?php echo html_entity_decode($post->content); ?>"
When it should now be this: "Decode Content: <?php echo htmlspecialchars_decode($post->content); ?>"
This concern was also noted in one of my earlier posts. Its nice to see it has been changed, but the documentation should also be updated.
