-### escapeString
+### escapeHTML
 
 Escapes a string for use in HTML.
 
-Use a chain of `String.replace()` calls combined with regular expressions to replace special characters with the proper symbols.
+Use `String.replace()` with a regex that matches the characters that need to be escaped, using a callback function to replace each character instance with its associated escaped character using a dictionary (object).
 
 ```js
-const escapeString = str =>
-  str.replace(/&/g, '&amp;').replace(/"/g, '&quot;').replace(/'/g, '&#39;').replace(/</g, '&lt;').replace(/>/g, '&gt;');
+const escapeHTML = str => str.replace(/[&<>'"]/g, tag => ({
+    '&': '&amp;',
+    '<': '&lt;',
+    '>': '&gt;',
+    '\'': '&#39;',
+    '"': '&quot;'
+  })[tag] || tag);
 ```
 
 ```js
-escapeString('<a href="#">Me & you</a>'); // '&lt;a href=&quot;#&quot;&gt;Me &amp; you&lt;/a&gt;'
+escapeHTML('<a href="#">Me & you</a>'); // '&lt;a href=&quot;#&quot;&gt;Me &amp; you&lt;/a&gt;'
 ```
