What steps will reproduce the problem?

http://play.golang.org/p/uKNBC4VM8I

What is the expected output?

html.EscapeString("'") →   '
template.HTMLEscapeString("'") →  '

What do you see instead?

html.EscapeString("'") →  '
template.HTMLEscapeString("'") →  '

Please provide any additional information below.

The character entity reference ' is not defined by the HTML standard
(http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/sgml/entities.html)

The text/template HTMLEscapeString function does the right thing.

Comment 1:

Oops.  Looks like apos was introduced in HTML5 (and XML)
but wasn't in earlier versions of HTML.
Thanks.

Comment 3 by [email protected]:

To prevent regressions, the comment at
http://golang.org/src/pkg/text/template/funcs.go#L249 should be updated to mention that
apos is not supported by older browsers.

This makes package html consistent with package text/template's
HTMLEscape function.

Fixes #3489.
