Module text 

Text utilities — slugify, html_escape, truncate. Text utilities — slug generation, HTML escaping, truncation.

Small zero-dep helpers for the common bits of text-handling boilerplate every web app needs.

Functions

html_escape

Escape a string for safe insertion into HTML element content or double-quoted HTML attributes.

slugify

Convert a string into a URL-safe slug.

slugify_unicode

Like slugify but preserves Unicode letters/digits (lowercased). Useful when your URL infrastructure handles UTF-8 paths.

truncate

Truncate s to at most max_chars characters. If truncation happens, append suffix (typically "…" or "...").

unique_slug

Generate a unique slug by appending -2, -3, … until is_taken returns false. Useful for URL slugs where the natural slugify(title) might collide with an existing row.

unique_slug_async

Async variant of unique_slug for DB-backed uniqueness checks.
