public class HTMLEscaper
extends Object

This class will escape characters that have an HTML entity representation. It will not escape standard ASCII characters unless it is necessary (i.e. will not escape ASCI #32 but will escape "&"). Any characters with no corresponding entity are passed through unchanged. It uses a quick string -< array mapping to avoid creating thousands of temporary objects.
