This operation takes no positional recipe arguments.

Recipe template

Important

This is a call template built from the documented defaults. Replace placeholder values such as empty keys, paths, patterns, or lookup data before running it.

from pychef import bake

input_value = "example"
args = []
result = bake(input_value, ['From HTML Entity'])
print(result)

Pipeline example

from pychef import Pipeline

args = []
transform = Pipeline().then('From HTML Entity')
result = transform("example")

Dedicated operation module

The registered entry point lives in pychef.operations.by_operation.from_html_entity. Direct calls receive the input value and a positional argument tuple:

from pychef.operations.by_operation.from_html_entity import run

result = run("example", tuple([]))
pychef.operations.by_operation.from_html_entity.run(value, args)

Run this operation using its shared internal implementation.

Parameters:
  • value (str | bytes)

  • args (Sequence[Any])

Return type:

str | bytes
