-   Convert the characters ``'&'``, ``'<'`` and ``'>'`` in string *s* to HTML-safe
-   sequences.  Use this if you need to display text that might contain such
-   characters in HTML.  If the optional flag *quote* is true, the quotation mark
-   character (``"``) is also translated; this helps for inclusion in an HTML
-   attribute value delimited by double quotes, as in ``<a href="...">``.  Note
-   that single quotes are never translated.
-
-   .. deprecated:: 3.2
-      This function is unsafe because *quote* is false by default, and therefore
-      deprecated.  Use :func:`html.escape` instead.
