addslashes vs. htmlentities

[Percadan]

I was just wondering what would be more secure, using addslashes() or htmlenitities() when adding a large amount of text with little HTML like <img src> and <b> tags. The large amount of text will consist of " and possible ' and , and maybe other special characters like mdashes and editor's characters.

Thanks for any help anyone may provide!!

the two functions do completely different things
