   When using esc_html__, remember that it’s also possible to echo the string value out by using the related esc_html_e which does the same thing but echoes the string too.

   An example:

   <p><?php esc_html_e( 'Hello World!', 'text-domain' ); ?></p>

   You can also read more about esc_html_e too.
