Sometimes what you seek was obvious to everyone else, so they didn't
excessively document it. Sorry.

need a library that provides simple functionality of take a string and
doing html escaping

" to "
& to &

require 'cgi'
....

def test_escapeHTML()
scream = CGI::escapeHTML(">scream<")
assert_equal(scream, '&gt;scream&lt;')
end

it's builtin to ruby:

harp:~ > irb -r cgi
irb(main):001:0> CGI::escapeHTML %Q( " )
=> " &quot; "
irb(main):002:0> CGI::escapeHTML %Q( & )
=> " &amp; "
irb(main):003:0> CGI::escapeHTML %Q( < )
=> " &lt; "
irb(main):004:0> CGI::escapeHTML %Q( > )
=> " &gt; "

cheers.
