DESCRIPTION

14       This modules provides a function which escapes HTML's special
15       characters. It performs a similar function to PHP's htmlspecialchars.
16       It escapes the following characters:
17
18           " & ' < > ` { }
19
20       This module uses XS for better performance, but it also provides a pure
21       perl version.

FAQ

24       Is there also an unescape_html?
25           No. Unescaping HTML requires a lot of code, and we don't want to do
26           it.  Please use HTML::Entities for it.
