/**
Returns a copy of the specified string with special HTML characters
escaped. The following characters will be converted to their
corresponding character entities:
& < > " ' / `
This implementation is based on the [OWASP HTML escaping
recommendations][1]. In addition to the characters in the OWASP
recommendations, we also escape the <code>`</code> character, since IE
interprets it as an attribute delimiter.
If _string_ is not already a string, it will be coerced to a string.
