## FUNCTIONS
### escape
        Replace special characters "&", "<" and ">" to HTML-safe sequences.
        If the optional flag quote is true (the default), the quotation mark
        characters, both double quote (") and single quote (') characters are also
        translated.

### unescape
        Convert all named and numeric character references (e.g. &gt;, &#62;,
        &x3e;) in the string s 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 list of
        HTML 5 named character references defined in html.entities.html5.
