how to use the unescape function from the underscore library in javascript

In Underscore, you can use the _.unescape function to convert HTML entities to their corresponding characters.

Here is an example usage:

index.tsx
var html = "<p>This is a "sample" text.</p>";
var unescapedHtml = _.unescape(html);
console.log(unescapedHtml);
// Output: <p>This is a "sample" text.</p>
177 chars
5 lines

In the above example, we have a string that contains HTML entities, such as &lt; for < and &quot; for ". We pass this string to the _.unescape function, which returns the unescaped version of the string.

Note that this function can also handle other types of escaping, such as Unicode escape sequences (\uXXXX) and JavaScript escape sequences (\n, \t, etc.).
