: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. ``&gt;``,
``&#62;``, ``&#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 :data:`list of
HTML 5 named character references <html.entities.html5>`.
.. versionadded:: 3.4
--------------
Submodules in the ``html`` package are:
* :mod:`html.parser` -- HTML/XHTML parser with lenient parsing mode
* :mod:`html.entities` -- HTML entity definitions
