URL/HTML encoding

Hey guys, looking for a way to encode a string into URL and HTML in a bash script that I'm making to encode strings in various different digests etc.
Can't find anything on it anywhere else on the forums.
Any help much appreciated, still very new to bash and programming etc.

this-is-a-string

And convert it into

URL-encoded:
%74%68%69%73%2D%69%73%2D%61%2D%73%74%72%69%6E%67

HTML:
&#116&#104&#105&#115&#45&#105&#115&#45&#97.....

Alternatively if there is a way to replace the original characters with their encoded equivalents, ie:

"a" into "%61" or "&#97", URL-encoded and HTML respectively.
