assert.match(convertHTML('Dolce & Gabbana'), /Dolce & Gabbana/);

convertHTML("Hamburgers < Pizza < Tacos") should return "Hamburgers < Pizza < Tacos".

assert.match(
  convertHTML('Hamburgers < Pizza < Tacos'),
  /Hamburgers &lt; Pizza &lt; Tacos/
);

convertHTML("Sixty > twelve") should return "Sixty > twelve".

assert.match(convertHTML('Sixty > twelve'), /Sixty > twelve/);

convertHTML('Stuff in "quotation marks"') should return "Stuff in "quotation marks"".

assert.match(
  convertHTML('Stuff in "quotation marks"'),
  /Stuff in "quotation marks"/
);

convertHTML("Schindler's List") should return "Schindler's List".

assert.match(convertHTML("Schindler's List"), /Schindler's List/);

convertHTML("<>") should return "<>".

assert.match(convertHTML('<>'), /&lt;&gt;/);

convertHTML("abc") should return "abc".

            '"': '&quot;',
            "'": '&apos;'};

function convertHTML(str) {
  return str.replace(/[&<>"']/g, function(c) {
