title: tr command with special character
body: <p>I am trying to substitute <code>"&lt;br&gt;"</code> to "\n" but do not find how use the &lt;> with tr. Any idea to do this command work: </p>
  
  <pre><code>echo "HTML example&lt;br&gt;Print new line&lt;br&gt;please&lt;br&gt;not work" | tr "&lt;br&gt;" "\n" 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>edit</p>

  <pre><code>HTML examplenPrint new linenpleasennot work
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I am using GNU bash, version 3.2.48(1)-release (x86_64-apple-darwin11).
