# methods

## encode(str, opts={})

Escape unsafe characters in `str` with html entities.

By default, entities are encoded with numeric decimal codes.

If `opts.numeric` is false or `opts.named` is true, encoding will used named
codes like `&pi;`.

## decode(str)

Convert html entities in `str` back to raw text.
