Functions

escape

escape(s, quote=True)


      Replace special characters "&", "<" and ">" to HTML-safe sequences.
      If the optional flag quote is true (the default), the quotation mark
      characters, both double quote (") and single quote (') characters are also
      translated.
    

unescape

unescape(s)


      Convert all named and numeric character references (e.g. >, >,
      &x3e;) in the string s to the corresponding unicode characters.
      This function uses the rules defined by the HTML 5 standard
      for both valid and invalid character references, and the list of
      HTML 5 named character references defined in html.entities.html5.
