HTML numeric entities in output instead of direct Unicode #2

@sentientsergio

Description

@sentientsergio

tomd outputs Unicode characters as HTML numeric entities (e.g. ’ for right single quote, • for bullet, – for en-dash) instead of direct Unicode. Found in 35 of 38 papers, 3,895 total occurrences.

This makes the markdown harder to read in plain text and breaks substring matching for tools that search the output.

Fix: apply html.unescape() (Python stdlib) to the output before writing, or emit Unicode directly during conversion.
