| -------------- |
| |
| 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="...">``. |
