/// A `String` converter that converts characters to HTML entities.
///
/// This is intended to sanitize text before inserting the text into an HTML
/// document. Characters that are meaningful in HTML are converted to
/// HTML entities (like `&` for `&`).
///
/// The general converter escapes all characters that are meaningful in HTML
/// attributes or normal element context. Elements with special content types
/// (like CSS or JavaScript) may need a more specialized escaping that
/// understands that content type.
///
/// If the context where the text will be inserted is known in more detail,
/// it's possible to omit escaping some characters (like quotes when not
/// inside an attribute value).
///
/// The escaped text should only be used inside quoted HTML attributes values
/// or as text content of a normal element. Using the escaped text inside a
/// tag, but not inside a quoted attribute value, is still dangerous.

/// where the escaped result is going to be used.
/// The relevant contexts are:
///
/// * as text content of an HTML element.
/// * as value of a (single- or double-) quoted attribute value.
///
/// All modes require escaping of `&` (ampersand) characters, and may
/// enable escaping of more characters.
///
/// Custom escape modes can be created using the [HtmlEscapeMode.HtmlEscapeMode]
