-
- > Convert HTML entities to HTML characters, e.g. `>` converts to `>`.
-
- ## Install
-
- Install with [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/):
-
- ```sh
- $ npm install --save unescape
- ```
-
- ## Usage
-
- ```js
- var decode = require('unescape');
-
- console.log(decode('<div>abc</div>'));
- //=> '<div>abc</div>'
-
- // get the default entities directly
- console.log(decode.chars);
- ```
-
- ## Characters
-
- For performance, this library only handles the following common entities (split into groups for backward compatibility).
-
- ### Default entities
-
- Only the following entities are converted by default.
-
- | **Character** | **Description** | **Entity Name** | **Entity Number** |
- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
- | `<` | less than | `<` | `<` |
- | `>` | greater than | `>` | `>` |
- | `&` | ampersand | `&` | `&` |
- | `"` | double quotation mark | `"` | `"` |
- | `'` | single quotation mark (apostrophe) | `'` | `'` |
-
- Get the default entities as an object:
-
- ```js
- console.log(decode.chars);
- ```
-
- ### Extra entities
-
- Only the following entities are converted when `'extras'` is passed as the second argument.
-
- | **Character** | **Description** | **Entity Name** | **Entity Number** |
- | `¢` | cent | `¢` | `¢` |
- | `£` | pound | `£` | `£` |
- | `¥` | yen | `¥` | `¥` |
- | `€` | euro | `€` | `€` |
- | `©` | copyright | `©` | `©` |
- | `®` | registered trademark | `®` | `®` |
-
- Example:
-
- ```js
- // convert only the "extras" characters
- decode(str, 'extras');
- // get the object of `extras` characters
- console.log(decode.extras);
- ```
-
- ### All entities
-
- Convert both the defaults and extras:
-
- ```js
- decode(str, 'all');
- ```
-
- Get all entities as an object:
-
- ```js
- console.log(decode.all);
- ```
