[Zope] Quoting Text to valid HTML

[Samir Mishra]

Hello all,

This ought to be simple, but can't find module/function to do this. I'm
writing an external method that reads text for inclusion into HTML. Some of
the strings have "&" (= &) and other non-HTML conformant characters. I
know Zope takes care of this translation automatically, but is there
something outside Zope I could use?

TIA.

Samir.
