The `transform.HTMLUnescape` function replaces [HTML entities] with their corresponding characters.
```go-html-template
{{ htmlUnescape "Lilo & Stitch" }} → Lilo & Stitch
{{ htmlUnescape "7 > 6" }} → 7 > 6
```
In most contexts Go's [html/template] package will escape special characters. To bypass this behavior, pass the unescaped string through the [`safeHTML`] function.
```go-html-template
{{ htmlUnescape "Lilo & Stitch" | safeHTML }}
```
