Summary: pydoc: HTML not escaped

Initial Comment:
In the part 'Data and non-method functions', the 
variables are not escaped for HTML. I discovered this 
while looking at pyweblib.forms[1], which uses some 
HTML like <form>, <input>, etc. in it's docstrings. 
Also, \n isn't replaced by <br>.

I'm not sure what the new behavior should be, but I do 
know that this is quite ugly to see(and it can break 
all of the layout, with a nicely placed </table>).
