Best way to escape special char of html

[walkerline117]

Hi,

I would like to escape special HTML characters of a string. e.g. <>,',",@ etc…

I know i can use ‘replace’ method to replace all of those characters one by one with the encoded ones, but is there any better way to do this in a mapper with expression?

BTW, I tried to use replace like this
.replace(/[&<>"'` !@$%()=+{}]/g, function(x){ return ‘&#’ + x.charCodeAt(0) + ‘;’})

but the mapper keeps throwing me errors as it seems the second parameter of the replace method cannot be a function?

Thanks
