@doc """
Helper that replaces anchor names and links that could potentially cause problems on EPUB documents

This helper replaces all the `&` with `&` found in anchors like
`Kernel.xhtml#&&/2` or `<h2 id="&&&/2-examples" class="section-heading">...</h2>`

These anchor names cause a fatal error while EPUB readers parse the files,
resulting in truncated content.

For more details, see: https://github.com/elixir-lang/ex_doc/issues/1851

I frowned a little with these nested String.replace. So, please let me now if you have any advice on how to improve this function.

@wojtekmach I though we had already escaped those when generating the links. Maybe this is something (or an option) we can pass when autolinking? The id we can fix by escaping in the document itself.

@wojtekmach @josevalim I know it has been a while, but is there any action that's expected on my end? How do we move on/resume this discussion?

The following text includes a reference to an anchor that causes problems in EPUB documents.

To remove this anti-pattern, we can replace `&&/2`, `||/2`, and `!/1` by `and/2`, `or/2`, and `not/1` respectively.

Added this line to demonstrate that we're transforming the links to problematic anchors in EPUB files.
