html_esc

Arbitrary text may contain characters with special meaning in HTML, which may
cause HTML display to be corrupted if they are included unescaped in a web
page. This function escapes those special characters so they do not
interfere with the HTML markup generated by e.g. <code>to_html</code>.

Counterparts to R string manipulation functions that account for
the effects of ANSI text formatting control sequences.
