Feature request: Allow disabling htmlEscape in the toHTML function

[flortsch]

Is your feature request related to a problem?

I am currently using the JavaScript API of FontAwesome in a static site generator (Eleventy), where I have defined a custom shortcode in Nunjucks for emitting FontAwesome SVGs. The shortcode implementation uses the html attribute of an icon, which is an escaped HTML string. In specific cases, this is problematic and the escaped HTML string does not allow further tools in the build pipeline to process the output string. E.g., I am setting an Alpine.js x-bind:class attribute with Tailwind classes, but as the string gets escaped, Tailwind does not pick up the referenced class names.
