`htmlUnescape` returns the given string with HTML escape codes un-escaped. 

Remember to pass the output of this to `safeHTML` if fully un-escaped characters are desired. Otherwise, the output will be escaped again as normal.

```
{{ htmlUnescape "Hugo & Caddy > Wordpress & Apache" }} → "Hugo & Caddy > Wordpress & Apache"
```
