+ * @description
+ *   The input is sanitized by parsing the html into tokens. All safe tokens (from a whitelist) are
+ *   then serialized back to properly escaped html string. This means that no unsafe input can make
+ *   it into the returned string, however, since our parser is more strict than a typical browser
+ *   parser, it's possible that some obscure input, which would be recognized as valid HTML by a
+ *   browser, won't make it through the sanitizer.
+ *   The whitelist is configured using the functions `aHrefSanitizationWhitelist` and
+ *   `imgSrcSanitizationWhitelist` of {@link ng.$compileProvider `$compileProvider`}.
+ *
+ * @param {string} html Html input.
+ * @returns {string} Sanitized html.
