transform.HTMLUnescape

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

Syntax

transform.HTMLUnescape INPUT

Returns

string

Alias

htmlUnescape

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

{{ htmlUnescape "Lilo &amp; Stitch" }} → Lilo & Stitch
{{ htmlUnescape "7 &gt; 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 &amp; Stitch" | safeHTML }}
