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 [`safe.HTML`][] function.
```go-html-template
{{ htmlUnescape "Lilo & Stitch" | safeHTML }}
```
