## Install

[npm][]:

npm install micromark-util-encode
```

## Use

```js
import {encode} from 'micromark-util-encode'

encode('<3') // '&lt;3'
```

## API

This module exports the following identifiers: `encode`.
There is no default export.

### `encode(value)`

Encode only the dangerous HTML characters.

This ensures that certain characters which have special meaning in HTML are
dealt with.
Technically, we can skip `>` and `"` in many cases, but CM includes them.

###### Parameters

*   `value` (`string`) — Value to encode.

###### Returns

`string` — Encoded value.
