<code>html.escape(s, quote=True)</code> </dt> <dd>
<p>Convert the characters <code>&amp;</code>, <code>&lt;</code> and <code>&gt;</code> in string <em>s</em> to HTML-safe sequences. Use this if you need to display text that might contain such characters in HTML. If the optional flag <em>quote</em> is true, the characters (<code>"</code>) and (<code>'</code>) are also translated; this helps for inclusion in an HTML attribute value delimited by quotes, as in <code>&lt;a href="..."&gt;</code>.</p> <div class="versionadded"> <p><span class="versionmodified added">New in version 3.2.</span></p> </div> </dd>

<code>html.unescape(s)</code> </dt> <dd>
<p>Convert all named and numeric character references (e.g. <code>&amp;gt;</code>, <code>&amp;#62;</code>, <code>&amp;#x3e;</code>) in the string <em>s</em> 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 <a class="reference internal" href="html.entities#html.entities.html5" title="html.entities.html5"><code>list of
