.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Nm
encodes/decodes HTML entities in strings just like a browser would.
.Sh OPTIONS
.Bl -ohang -offset
.It Sy "--escape"
Take a string of text and escape it for use in text contexts in XML or HTML documents. Only the following characters are escaped: `&`, `<`, `>`, `"`, and `'`.
.It Sy "--encode"
Take a string of text and encode any symbols that aren't printable ASCII symbols and that can be replaced with character references. For example, it would turn `©` into `&#xA9;`, but it wouldn't turn `+` into `&#x2B;` since there is no point in doing so. Additionally, it replaces any remaining non-ASCII symbols with a hexadecimal escape sequence (e.g. `&#x1D306;`). The return value of this function is always valid HTML.
.It Sy "--encode --use-named-refs"
Enable the use of named character references (like `&copy;`) in the output. If compatibility with older browsers is a concern, don't use this option.
.It Sy "--encode --everything"
Encode every symbol in the input string, even safe printable ASCII symbols.
.It Sy "--encode --allow-unsafe"
Encode non-ASCII characters only. This leaves unsafe HTML/XML symbols like `&`, `<`, `>`, `"`, and `'` intact.
.It Sy "--encode --decimal"
Use decimal digits rather than hexadecimal digits for encoded character references, e.g. output `&#169;` instead of `&#xA9;`.
.It Sy "--decode"
Takes a string of HTML and decode any named and numerical character references in it using the algorithm described in the HTML spec.
.It Sy "--decode --attribute"
Parse the input as if it was an HTML attribute value rather than a string in an HTML text content.
.It Sy "--decode --strict"
Throw an error if an invalid character reference is encountered.
.It Sy "-v, --version"
Print he's version.
.It Sy "-h, --help"
Show the help screen.

.Sh EXAMPLES
.Bl -ohang -offset
.It Sy "he --escape '<script>alert(1)</script>'"

.It Sy "he --decode '&copy;&#x1D306;'"
Print the decoded version of the given HTML string.
.It Sy "echo\ '&copy;&#x1D306;'\ |\ he --decode"
Print the decoded version of the HTML string that gets piped in.
