require 'html/stparser'
require 'html/element'

class MyParser < HTML::StackingParser
  def handle_cdata(data)
          print data
  end
  def handle_entityref(name)
    print "&#{name};"
  end
end


p = MyParser.new
p.feed("<html><body>John &amp; Mary</body></html>")


$ ruby test.rb
John &amp; Mary$
