.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Nm
|
|
encodes/decodes HTML entities in strings just like a browser would.
|
|
.Sh OPTIONS
|
|
.Bl -ohang -offset
|
|
.It Sy "--escape"
|
|
Take a string of text and escape it for use in text contexts in XML or HTML documents. Only the following characters are escaped: `&`, `<`, `>`, `"`, and `'`.
|
|
.It Sy "--encode"
|
|
Take a string of text and encode any symbols that aren't printable ASCII symbols and that can be replaced with character references. For example, it would turn `©` into `©`, but it wouldn't turn `+` into `+` since there is no point in doing so. Additionally, it replaces any remaining non-ASCII symbols with a hexadecimal escape sequence (e.g. `𝌆`). The return value of this function is always valid HTML.
|
|
.It Sy "--encode --use-named-refs"
|
|
Enable the use of named character references (like `©`) in the output. If compatibility with older browsers is a concern, don't use this option.
|
|
.It Sy "--encode --everything"
|
|
Encode every symbol in the input string, even safe printable ASCII symbols.
|
|
.It Sy "--encode --allow-unsafe"
|
|
Encode non-ASCII characters only. This leaves unsafe HTML/XML symbols like `&`, `<`, `>`, `"`, and `'` intact.
|
|
.It Sy "--decode"
|
|
Takes a string of HTML and decode any named and numerical character references in it using the algorithm described in the HTML spec.
|
|
.It Sy "--decode --attribute"
|
|
Parse the input as if it was an HTML attribute value rather than a string in an HTML text content.
|
|
.It Sy "--decode --strict"
|
|
Throw an error if an invalid character reference is encountered.
|
|
.It Sy "-v, --version"
|
|
Print he's version.
|
|
.It Sy "-h, --help"
|
|
Show the help screen.
