:silkylog.htmlescape(text string) -> string:
    replace special characters with the correct HTML entities.

:silkylog.htmlunescape(text string) -> string:
    turn HTML character references into their plain text.
    
:silkylog.urlescape(text string) -> string:
    replace special characters with single byte characters.

:silkylog.formatmarkup(text string, format string) -> string:
    convert the ``text`` written in ``format`` into HTMLs.

:silkylog.title(data table) -> string:
    format the title defined in the ``config.lua`` with the ``data``.

:silkylog.path(data table) -> string:
    format the path defined in the ``config.lua`` with the ``data``.

:silkylog.url(data table) -> string:
    format the url defined in the ``config.lua`` with the ``data``.

:silkylog.fullurl(data table) -> string:
    format the url with domains defined in the ``config.lua`` with the ``data``.

:silkylog.copyfile(src, dst string) -> true or (nil, message string): 
    copy the file ``src`` to the ``dst``. return true if no errors were occurred, nil and an error message otherwise.

:silkylog.copytree(src, dst string) -> true or (nil, message string): 
    copy the directory ``src`` to the ``dst``. return true if no errors were occurred, nil and an error message otherwise.

:silkylog.isdir(path string) -> bool:
    return true if the ``path`` is a directory, false otherwise.

:silkylog.isfile(path string) -> bool:
    return true if the ``path`` is a regular file, false otherwise.
