#' Html special character conversion
#'
#' Converts 'txt' so that (the most common) special characters (like 'beta','micro','square' etc) will be displayed correctly whe used for display in html (eg at mouse-over).
#' Note : The package \href{https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=stringi}{stringi} is required for the conversions (the input will get returned if \code{stringi} is not available).
#' Currently only the 16 most common special characters are implemented.
#' @param txt character vector inclusing special characters
#' @param silent (logical) suppress messages
#' @param debug (logical) additional messages for debugging
#' @param callFrom (character) allow easier tracking of messages produced
#' @return This function returns a corrected character vector adopted for html display
#' @seealso tables on \url{https://www.htmlhelp.com/reference/html40/entities/latin1.html}, \url{https://www.degraeve.com/reference/specialcharacters.php}, \url{https://ascii.cl/htmlcodes.htm}
