This class converts a String to the HTML-format of a String.
To convert the String, each character is examined:
- ASCII-characters from 000 till 031 are represented as &#xxx;
  (with xxx = the value of the character)
- ASCII-characters from 032 t/m 127 are represented by the character itself, except for:
  - '\n' becomes <BR>\n
  - " becomes "
  - & becomes &
  - < becomes <
  - > becomes >
- ASCII-characters from 128 till 255 are represented as &#xxx;
  (with xxx = the value of the character)
Example:
```
    String htmlPresentation = HtmlEncoder.encode("Marie-Thérèse Sørensen");
 
```
