HTML Escape Extension

This is a Visual Studio Code extension that simply converts any text into web-ready text that can be used in a blog entry. So for example, a < character will become <. There are two uses of it:

Open in Preview Document

To use, simply open a file and run Show Escaped HTML. If no text is selected, it will convert the entire document. The result is opened in a preview document to the side:

Replace in Document

To use this feature, you must have selected text (I'm open to changing this). Select text, run Replace Selection with Escaped HTML and the current selection will be escaped in the document itself.

Updates

0.0.6 Significant update by Oleg Karasik again! Please see the details here https://github.com/cfjedimaster/htmlescape-vscode/pull/2.

0.0.5 Merge PR by Oleg Karasik (https://github.com/cfjedimaster/htmlescape-vscode/pull/1)

0.0.4 I switched the code to copy/mimic this MS example (https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-extension-samples/tree/master/previewhtml-sample) and it seems to have fixed the copy/paste issue. One problem I have now though is that I can't get the textarea to be 100% big. I had to pick a size and just hope it works out ok. I also don't honestly know what a few lines of this code does. :)

0.0.3 I switched the display to use a textarea. This makes it - hopefully - a bit easier to get the code. It also helps preserve tabs. Unfortunately, you can't CTRL+A in the textarea. Not sure why.
