public static final org.apache.cxf.transport.commons_text.CharSequenceTranslator ESCAPE_HTML4
```
    Translator object for escaping HTML version 4.0. While escapeHtml4(String) is the expected method of use, this object allows the HTML escaping functionality to be used as the foundation for a custom translator.
- Method Detail
  - escapeHtml4
```
public static String escapeHtml4(String input)
```
    Escapes the characters in a String using HTML entities.
    
    For example:
    
    "bread" & "butter"
    becomes:
    &quot;bread&quot; &amp; &quot;butter&quot;.
    
    Supports all known HTML 4.0 entities, including funky accents. Note that the commonly used apostrophe escape character (') is not a legal entity and so is not supported).
    
    Parameters:
    
    input - the String to escape, may be null
    
    Returns:
    
    a new escaped String, null if null string input
