Pydoc doesn't escape parameter defaults in generated html files. For example for the socket.__init__() method in the socket module following html code is generated:

<dl><dt><a name="socket-__init__"><strong>__init__</strong></a>(self, family=<AddressFamily.AF_INET: 2>, type=<SocketType.SOCK_STREAM: 1>, proto=0, fileno=None)</dt></dl>

As result <AddressFamily.AF_INET: 2> and <SocketType.SOCK_STREAM: 1> aren't visible in browser (they are illegal html tags).

Here is a patch which fixes this issue. Html formatting was broken by issue19674.

Thanks for the review Larry.

There is related minor issue. The formatvalue method is no longer used in HTMLDoc. This can break user code which inherits HTMLDoc and overrides formatvalue.
