<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>
'&' (ampersand) becomes '&amp;'
</simpara>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<simpara>
'"' (double quote) becomes '&quot;' when <constant>ENT_NOQUOTES</constant>
is not set.
</simpara>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<simpara>
''' (single quote) becomes '&#039;' only when
<constant>ENT_QUOTES</constant> is set.
</simpara>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<simpara>
'<' (less than) becomes '&lt;'
</simpara>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<simpara>
'>' (greater than) becomes '&gt;'

<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>
