Usage
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
### encode(text, options)
|
|
|
|
Encodes text replacing HTML special characters (`<>&"'`) and/or other character ranges depending on `mode` option value.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
import {encode} from 'html-entities';
|
|
|
|
encode('< > " \' & © ∆');
|
|
// -> '< > " ' & © ∆'
|
|
|
|
encode('< ©', {mode: 'nonAsciiPrintable'});
|
|
// -> '< ©'
|
|
|
|
encode('< ©', {mode: 'nonAsciiPrintable', level: 'xml'});
|
|
// -> '< ©'
|
|
|
|
encode('< > " \' & ©', {mode: 'nonAsciiPrintableOnly', level: 'xml'});
|
|
// -> '< > " \' & ©'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Options:
|
|
|
|
#### level
|
|
|
|
* `all` alias to `html5` (default).
|
|
* `html5` uses `HTML5` named references.
|
|
* `html4` uses `HTML4` named references.
|
|
* `xml` uses `XML` named references.
|
|
|
|
#### mode
|
|
|
|
* `specialChars` encodes only HTML special characters (default).
|
|
* `nonAscii` encodes HTML special characters and everything outside the [ASCII character range](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASCII).
|
|
* `nonAsciiPrintable` encodes HTML special characters and everything outiside of the [ASCII printable characters](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASCII#Printable_characters).
|
|
* `nonAsciiPrintableOnly` everything outiside of the [ASCII printable characters](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASCII#Printable_characters) keeping HTML special characters intact.
|
|
* `extensive` encodes all non-printable characters, non-ASCII characters and all characters with named references.
|
|
|
|
#### numeric
|
|
|
|
* `decimal` uses decimal numbers when encoding html entities. i.e. `©` (default).
|
|
* `hexadecimal` uses hexadecimal numbers when encoding html entities. i.e. `©`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### decode(text, options)
|
|
|
|
Decodes text replacing entities to characters. Unknown entities are left as is.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
import {decode} from 'html-entities';
|
|
|
|
decode('< > " ' & © ∆');
|
|
// -> '< > " \' & © ∆'
|
|
|
|
decode('©', {level: 'html5'});
|
|
// -> '©'
|
|
|
|
decode('©', {level: 'xml'});
|
|
// -> '©'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Options:
|
|
|
|
#### level
|
|
|
|
* `all` alias to `html5` (default).
|
|
* `html5` uses `HTML5` named references.
|
|
* `html4` uses `HTML4` named references.
|
|
* `xml` uses `XML` named references.
|
|
|
|
#### scope
|
|
|
|
* `body` emulates behavior of browser when parsing tag bodies: entities without semicolon are also replaced (default).
|
|
* `attribute` emulates behavior of browser when parsing tag attributes: entities without semicolon are replaced when not followed by equality sign `=`.
|
|
* `strict` ignores entities without semicolon.
|
|
|
|
### decodeEntity(text, options)
|
|
|
|
Decodes a single HTML entity. Unknown entitiy is left as is.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
import {decodeEntity} from 'html-entities';
|
|
|
|
decodeEntity('<');
|
|
// -> '<'
|
|
|
|
decodeEntity('©', {level: 'html5'});
|
|
// -> '©'
|
|
|
|
decodeEntity('©', {level: 'xml'});
|
|
// -> '©'
|
|
```
