/**
* {@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.
* One Google-authored templating system available for external use is Closure Templates.
*
* 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.

Note: This escaper only performs minimal escaping to make content structurally
* compatible with HTML. Specifically, it does not perform entity replacement (symbolic or
* numeric), so it does not replace non-ASCII code points with character references. This escaper
* escapes only the following five ASCII characters: {@code '"&<>}.
