This library adds three properties to String instances :

• escapingForUnicodeHTML: Escapes the characters in the String for display in Unicode-encoded HTML pages.
• escapingForASCIIHTML : Escapes the characters in the String for display in ASCII-encoded HTML pages
• unescapingFromHTML : Replaces all escape sequences in the String by their corresponding Unicode Scalar.

import HTMLString 

let emoji = "My favorite emoji is 🙃"
let escapedEmoji = emoji.escapingForASCIIHTML // "My favorite emoji is 🙃"

let snack = "Fish & Chips"
let escapedSnack = snack.escapingForUnicodeHTML // "Fish & Chips"

import HTMLString

let escapedEmoji = "My favorite emoji is 🙃"
let emoji = escapedEmoji.unescapingFromHTML // "My favorite emoji is 🙃"

let escapedSnack = "Fish & Chips"
let snack = escapedSnack.unescapingFromHTML // "Fish & Chips"

This library was inspired by Google's GTMNSString+HTML.
