Description

Hi,

OWASP recommends that we escape single quotes and forward slashes before inserting them in to HTML. I would like to change ERB::Util.html_escape to do that.

https://www.owasp.org/index.php/XSS_(Cross_Site_Scripting)_Prevention_Cheat_Sheet#RULE_.231_-_HTML_Escape_Before_Inserting_Untrusted_Data_into_HTML_Element_Content

I've attached a patch. Thanks!
