_.escape("'") => &#x27; hex escaped not recognized by some html parsers

I'm using lodash on a node back-end and escaping the jade replacements before compiling html to be sent as an email. Everything but single quotes are rendered as expected in the emails. I tried switching `&#x27;` to `&#39;` and it works as expected. I understand the hex code should work and I'm not sure why the numerical code works better in the emails, but it does seem to.

I couldn't find instructions on how to build dist/lodash.compat.js. I can add that once I know how.
