Feb 9, 2023 at 16:26	comment	added	Travis Bemrose		What if the string is already escaped? This expression matches `&` except when it's followed by ( 1-8 letters followed by 0-2 digits OR `#` followed by a 1-4 (decimal OR hex) digit number ) followed by `;`. Pattern: /([<>"'`=\/]\|&(?!([a-zA-Z]{1,8}\d{0,2}\|#(\d{1,4}\|x[a-zA-Z\d]{1,4}));))/g Use: `escapeHtml('"This" = a &v3ry; &dumb; quote.')` Result: `'"This" = a &v3ry; &dumb; quote.'` In DOM: `'"This"\t=\ta &v3ry; &dumb; quote.'` Page display: `"This" = a &v3ry; &dumb; quote.`
