### htmlUnescape(htmlString)
Unescapes the following HTML entities in the given `htmlString` argument: `&amp;` `&lt;` `&gt;` `&quot;` `&#39;`
### htmlEscapeTag
[Tagged template literal](https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Template_literals#Tagged_template_literals) that escapes interpolated values.

## Tip
Ensure you always quote your HTML attributes to prevent possible [XSS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-site_scripting).
## FAQ
### Why yet another HTML escaping package?
I couldn't find one I liked that was tiny, well-tested, and had both `.escape()` and `.unescape()`.
