"do text from text('a < b')" fails

[Luc Saffre]

The appy.pod.renderer.Renderer.renderText() method fails if the string to be rendered contains characters like '<' or '&' that are no valid XML tags.

One solution would be to insert a line

  text = cgi.escape(text)

before the line

  text = text.replace('\r\n', '<br/>').replace('\n', '<br/>')

in that function (and import the `cgi` module at the top of the file).

Note that this would change the current behavious for usages like

  do text
  from text('This\nis a <b>formatted</b>\nmultiline text

where the "<b>" would be rendered as text instead of having the word "formatted" in bold.
But IMHO such use cases anyway make not much sense, so I'd say that my suggestion is okay.
