Escape characters for text appearing in HTML markup.
<P>This method exists as a defence against Cross Site Scripting (XSS) hacks.
The idea is to neutralize control characters commonly used by scripts, such that
they will not be executed by the browser. This is done by replacing the control
characters with their escaped equivalents.
See {@link hirondelle.web4j.security.SafeText} as well.
