Replace Deprecated `espace` Function with Custom HTML Escaping Implementation

**Describe the feature** Replace the deprecated `escape` function call with a custom implementation for HTML escaping. This could involve introducing a utility function like the following to handle HTML entity escaping securely: ```js export function escapeHtml(unsafe: string): string { return unsafe .replace(/&/g, "&amp;") .replace(/</g, "&lt;") .replace(/>/g, "&gt;") .replace(/"/g, "&quot;") .replace(/'/g, "&#39;"); } ``` The feature should integrate this custom escaping logic into the places where `escape` is currently used, ensuring that all HTML output is properly sanitized. **Why is this feature necessary?** The `escape` function is deprecated in modern JavaScript environments, which could lead to compatibility issues or security vulnerabilities in the future if not addressed. By implementing a custom, standards-compliant HTML escaping function, the library can maintain robust protection against XSS attacks while removing dependencies on deprecated APIs. **Describe alternatives you've considered** - Continuing to use the deprecated `escape` function as long as its supported, but this risks future breakage when browser support is dropped. - Relying on external libraries like `he` or `lodash.escape` or `core-js`, but this adds unnecessary dependencies for a core functionality. - Manual string replacements in specific locations, but centralizing the logic in a reusable function improves maintainability. This change would help future-proof the codebase and align with best practices for HTML sanitization. Note that I _could_ make a PR but I don't have the time for it at the moment.
