>>> tag("br")
'<br />'
>>> tag("br", True)
'<br>'
>>> tag("input", type="text")
'<input type="text" />'
>>> tag("input", type='text', disabled=True)
'<input disabled="disabled" type="text" />'

Examples:

>>> content_tag("p", "Hello world!")
'<p>Hello world!</p>'
>>> content_tag("div", content_tag("p", "Hello world!"), class_="strong")
'<div class="strong"><p>Hello world!</p></div>'

>>> escape_once("1 < 2 &amp; 3")
'1 &lt; 2 &amp; 3'
