Encode HTML
Description
The encode_html part is used for ensuring text will be accurately shown by a browser by escaping special characters in strings used in HTML documents to prevent confusion with HTML elements.
Use
The process of ‘HTML encoding’ involves replacing certain characters (such as < and >) with a particular ‘escape sequence’ of characters that a browser knows how to display and that don’t interfere with browser rendering. The encode_html part applies HTML encoding to a specified string. This is useful as a quick method of encoding form data and other client request data before using it in your Web application. Encoding data converts potentially unsafe characters to their HTML-encoded equivalent.
