Package html

EscapeString escapes special characters like "<" to become "<". It escapes only five such characters: <, >, &, ' and ". UnescapeString(EscapeString(s)) == s always holds, but the converse isn't always true.

▸ Example

▾ Example

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"html"
)

func main() {
	const s = `"Fran & Freddie's Diner" <tasty@example.com>`
	fmt.Println(html.EscapeString(s))
}

&#34;Fran &amp; Freddie&#39;s Diner&#34; &lt;tasty@example.com&gt;

func UnescapeString ¶

func UnescapeString(s string) string

UnescapeString unescapes entities like "<" to become "<". It unescapes a larger range of entities than EscapeString escapes. For example, "á" unescapes to "á", as does "á" and "á". UnescapeString(EscapeString(s)) == s always holds, but the converse isn't always true.
