transform.HTMLUnescape

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

{{ htmlUnescape "Lilo & Stitch" }} → Lilo & Stitch
{{ htmlUnescape "7 > 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 & Stitch" | safeHTML }}
