:mod:`html` --- HyperText Markup Language support ================================================= .. module:: html :synopsis: Helpers for manipulating HTML. .. versionadded:: 3.2 **Source code:** :source:`Lib/html/__init__.py` -------------- 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 ````.
