: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 ``<a href="...">``.
