daniel weijers commented on DISPL-487:
--------------------------------------

looking at the code, only the escapeXml method is used, for both XML and HTML
if a seperated call to the escapeHtml can be made for HTML,  a lot more (in 
effect all html 4.0) will be escaped, according to the javadoc of  the 
StringEscapeUtils class.  Hopes this helps


<snippet could be added to the EscapeXmlColumnDecorator.java class>

if (media.equals(MediaTypeEnum.XML)) {
    return StringEscapeUtils.escapeXml(columnValue.toString());
}
if (media.equals(MediaTypeEnum.HTML)) {
   return StringEscapeUtils.escapeHtml(columnValue.toString());
}

>             Project: DisplayTag
>          Issue Type: Bug
>    Affects Versions: 1.1
>            Reporter: daniel weijers
>
> Within our project data is read from a database and displayed via the 
> displaytag table.
>  
> The escapeXml="true"  is set for the column  tag. 
> We expected to have  data  "  Name" to be escaped into "&nbsp;&nbsp;Name".
> Is it possible to have the escapeXml working for space? This doesn't happen.
> Note: 
> It looks like only the & " en '  are transformed to there respective &amp 
> &quot en &apos; No other characters are escaped.
> The possibility of having a global (configuration) setting for the escapXml 
> (like the defaultHtmlEscape of Spring) would be great!
