I disagree. The string I'm giving that contains entities is completely valid and not half-escaped. An entity is not always an escaped string - aside from the 4 common entities &, <, >, and ", any other entity can be decoded and co-exist with no problem among the html code. &, <, >, and " are escapes because they prevent specific characters from breaking the html code - and happen to perform the escaping by converting those characters to entities. > > > So I propose that the HTML::Template escaping does not squash HTML > > entities. > > That would break its behavior for me The code I submitted would not break your example because it does not change the behavior regarding legitimate &, <, >, or " characters. It simply changes the behavior to not _also_ escape other legitimate entities that also happen to contain legitimate ampersands. > An alternate escaping method would be fine An alternate option is probably a good idea.
