escape

and >
in string s to HTML-safe sequences. Use this if you need to display text that might contain such characters in HTML. If the optional flag quote is true, the characters ("
) and ('
) are also translated; this helps for inclusion in an HTML attribute value delimited by quotes, as in <a href="...">
