May I suggest using Twitter's official JavaScript text processing library, [twitter/twitter-text-js](https://github.com/twitter/twitter-text-js)? PR to follow.
Nooope. We're already using [mathiasbynens/he](https://github.com/mathiasbynens/he).
It was even simpler than that: by default, Markdown escapes variables.
It might actually be worthwhile using Twitter's official JavaScript text processing library ([twitter/twitter-text-js](https://github.com/twitter/twitter-text-js)) here.
