	# encode html
	escape = (text) ->

	[/</g, '<']
	[/"/g, '"']
	[/'/g, ''']
	for r in replacements
	text.replace r[0], r[1]

Here is a shorter version that does the same work:

#encode html
escape = (text) -> 
  txt.replace(/&/g,'&amp;' ).replace(/</g,'&lt;').
      replace(/"/g,'&quot;').replace(/'/g,'&#039;')
