| 13 | This module defines utilities to manipulate HTML. |
| 14 | |
| 15 | .. function:: escape(s, quote=True) |
| 16 | |
| 17 | Convert the characters ``&``, ``<`` and ``>`` in string *s* to HTML-safe |
| 18 | sequences. Use this if you need to display text that might contain such |
| 19 | characters in HTML. If the optional flag *quote* is true, the characters |
| 20 | (``"``) and (``'``) are also translated; this helps for inclusion in an HTML |
| 21 | attribute value delimited by quotes, as in ``<a href="...">``. |
