  <para>
   Certain characters have special significance in HTML, and should
   be represented by HTML entities if they are to preserve their
   meanings. This function returns a string with some of these
   conversions made; the translations made are those most
   useful for everyday web programming. If you require all HTML
   character entities to be translated, use
   <function>htmlentities</function> instead.
  </para>
  <simpara>
   This function is useful in preventing user-supplied text from
   containing HTML markup, such as in a message board or guest book
   application.
  </simpara>
  <para>
   The translations performed are:
   <itemizedlist>
    <listitem>
     <simpara>
      '&amp;' (ampersand) becomes '&amp;amp;'
     </simpara>
    </listitem>
    <listitem>
     <simpara>
      '&quot;' (double quote) becomes '&amp;quot;' when <constant>ENT_NOQUOTES</constant>
      is not set.
     </simpara>
    </listitem>
    <listitem>
     <simpara>
      '&#039;' (single quote) becomes '&amp;#039;' only when
      <constant>ENT_QUOTES</constant> is set.
     </simpara>
    </listitem>
    <listitem>
     <simpara>
      '&lt;' (less than) becomes '&amp;lt;'
     </simpara>
    </listitem>
    <listitem>
     <simpara>
      '&gt;' (greater than) becomes '&amp;gt;'
     </simpara>
    </listitem>

  <para>

     <term><parameter>quote_style</parameter></term>
     <listitem>
      <para>
       The optional second argument, <parameter>quote_style</parameter>, tells
       the function what to do with single and double quote characters.
       The default mode, <constant>ENT_COMPAT</constant>, is the backwards compatible mode
       which only translates the double-quote character and leaves the
       single-quote untranslated.  If <constant>ENT_QUOTES</constant> is set, both single and
       double quotes are translated and if <constant>ENT_NOQUOTES</constant> is set neither
       single nor double quotes are translated.
      </para>

    <varlistentry>

       When <parameter>double_encode</parameter> is turned off PHP will not
       encode existing html entities, the default is to convert everything.
