methods
var ent = require('ent');
var encode = require('ent/encode');
var decode = require('ent/decode');
encode(str, opts={})
Escape unsafe characters in str
with html entities.
By default, entities are encoded with numeric decimal codes.
If opts.numeric
is false or opts.named
is true, encoding will used named codes like π
.
If opts.special
is set to an Object, the key names will be forced to be encoded (defaults to forcing: <>'"&
). For example:
console.log(encode('hello', { special: { l: true } }));
hello
decode(str)
Convert html entities in str
back to raw text.
