There's no memorization involved at all. You create a bin script or an alias the first time you do it. i.e. typing `escape-html "<h1>hello</h1>"` in your terminal is infinitely more efficient and easier than firing up some app and navigating some menus. This also supports of all of unix actions like piping and output redirection. I honestly quite shocked how many developers on MacOs are not familiar with the terminal and are weirdly afraid of it!

This adds setup cost, to create the initial aliases, plus that doesn't remove memorization, it just replaces memorizing the command with memorizing your alias (which I agree is easier, but I have a bunch of aliases myself [1], [2], they're a pain to keep track of). Again, I struggle with what's difficult about imagining someone who's priorities are different? Also... sending HTML as a parameter in your shell? Have you actually tried this? That's going to be a nightmare to escape for anything even a little bit complicated.
