func EscapeString ¶
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.
const s = `"Fran & Freddie's Diner" <tasty@example.com>`
fmt.Println(html.EscapeString(s))
// Output: "Fran & Freddie's Diner" <tasty@example.com>
func UnescapeString ¶
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.
const s = `"Fran & Freddie's Diner" <tasty@example.com>`
fmt.Println(html.UnescapeString(s))
// Output: "Fran & Freddie's Diner" <tasty@example.com>
