would anyone know a more thorough way of making a string more xml-friendly? using the N/xml module's

escape()

function doesn't seem to return a string that escapes apostrophes. It's managed to escape everything else, including ampersands'. for context i'm rendering a pdf using

Render.xmlToPdf()

. If it helps, the xml isn't loaded from File Cabinet, but rather hard-coded onto the script itself as a string via backticks, and the values added through placeholders.

require(['N/xml'], function(xml) {
  log.debug(xml.escape({xmlText: '\''}))
})

works as expected

thanks for the freemarker reference, that seems to have worked for my case.
