Apostrophe in HTML must be encoded with ''' instead of '''

This is still an issue and I've finally figured out this package is the culprit.

Requires update to entities.json to capture ' on decode and a hook to always choose ' when encoding '. @sberryman the power is in your hands :)

[sberryman]

Yeah, I finally figured it out... Guess I should have posted my findings here.

This is still an issue. For a lib that's required by cheerio I find this a bit disconcerting. Scenario here: Corporate email that contains stuff parsed by cheerio, &apos; renders as plaintext in Outlook environment. This is not valid HTML. What should we do about it? Fork and ping cheerio maintainers?

For cheerio's case, I would like to solve this by implementing cheeriojs/cheerio#863. This module could use a new API as well, which differentiates between encoding and escaping (with the latter only encoding characters that are illegal in HTML).

Seems like this is still an issue.. Any particular reason why it has not been fixed yet?
Is there still no way to encode apostrophe to the html code (&#39)?

You probably want to use the escape methods if this is an issue for you.

Why was this closed? I can't see that it has been "completed" and the escape methods don't work either. Does anyone have any examples to share of achieving this with the in-built methods?

Why don't the escape methods work?
