htmlify

htmlify(string, reverse=False, tostring=False)

Convert a string to its HTML representation by converting unicode characters, characters that need to be escaped, and newlines. If reverse=True, will convert HTML to string. If tostring=True, will convert the bytestring back to Unicode.

Examples:

output = sc.htmlify('foo&\nbar') # Returns b'foo&amp;<br>bar'
output = sc.htmlify('föö&\nbar', tostring=True) # Returns 'f&#246;&#246;&amp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;bar'
output = sc.htmlify('foo&amp;<br>bar', reverse=True) # Returns 'foo&\nbar'
