:mod:`html` --- HyperText Markup Language support

=================================================

.. module:: html
|
|
:synopsis: Helpers for manipulating HTML.
|
|
|
|
**Source code:** :source:`Lib/html/__init__.py`
|
|
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
This module defines utilities to manipulate HTML.
|
|
|
|
.. function:: escape(s, quote=True)
|
|
|
|
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 characters
|
|
(``"``) and (``'``) are also translated; this helps for inclusion in an HTML
|
|
attribute value delimited by quotes, as in ``<a href="...">``.
|
|
|
|
.. versionadded:: 3.2
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. function:: unescape(s)
|
|
|
|
Convert all named and numeric character references (e.g. ``>``,
|
|
``>``, ``>``) 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 :data:`list of
|
|
HTML 5 named character references <html.entities.html5>`.
|
|
|
|
.. versionadded:: 3.4
