Hi Jake,
HAPI doesn't do any escaping/unescaping other than the four ER7 escape
characters (like \T\ to & as you note). The main problem with trying to do
anything more is that presentation of most of the formatting sequences are
fairly dependent on target platform (e.g. things like bold, tabstops, etc.)
The upcoming 2.0 release of HAPI does add a new method to the string
datatypes, called getValueAsHtml(), which turns the various escape
sequences into their equivalent HTML codes.
I'm hoping 2.0 should be out in a matter of weeks (we keep getting
sidetracked over the last while here at UHN), but if you don't mind using
the beta release for now you could take advantage of the new method
already. Alternately you could certainly look at the code and come up with
your own implementation.

Cheers,
James
