transform.HTMLUnescape

transform.HTMLUnescape

Returns the given string, replacing each HTML entity with its corresponding character.

The transform.HTMLUnescape function replaces [HTML entities] with their corresponding characters.

{{ htmlUnescape "Lilo & Stitch" }} → Lilo & Stitch
{{ htmlUnescape "7 > 6" }} → 7 > 6

In most contexts Go’s [html/template] package will escape special characters. To bypass this behavior, pass the unescaped string through the [safeHTML] function.

{{ htmlUnescape "Lilo & Stitch" | safeHTML }}
