### escape_string

```xo
fn escape_string(s: Str) -> Str
```

html.EscapeString: `<`, `>`, `&`, `'` and `"` as `&lt;`, `&gt;`,
`&amp;`, `&#39;` and `&#34;`.

### unescape_string

```xo
fn unescape_string(s: Str) -> Str
```

html.UnescapeString: every entity reference unescaped (named, the
legacy names without a semicolon such as `&amp` and `&copy`, decimal
`&#916;` and hexadecimal `&#x3bb;` numeric references, the C1 control
code points replaced as browsers do, invalid ones as U+FFFD);
`unescape_string(escape_string(s)) == s` always, the converse not.
