/**
 * {@code Escaper} instances suitable for strings to be included in HTML
 * attribute values and most elements' text contents. When possible,
 * avoid manual escaping by using templating systems and high-level APIs that
 * provide autoescaping.
 *
 * HTML escaping is particularly tricky: For example, some elements' text contents must not be HTML
 * escaped. As a result, it is impossible to escape an HTML document
 * correctly without domain-specific knowledge beyond what {@code HtmlEscapers}
 * provides. We strongly encourage the use of HTML templating systems.

   * points with character references. This escaper escapes only the following
   * five ASCII characters: {@code '"&<>}.
