Very nice work, Damien! +1 on the inclusion of this oft-requested feature! I started to write the same patch a few years ago, thinking "this should be easy," but stumbled when I realized just how easy it wasn't :-) Shortly thereafter Sam accepted Craig Manley's patch that added escape=JS (to the list of hard-coded escapes) and my immediate need for user-defined escaping went away. But there have still been many times that I wished could "bolt on" a new escape=rot13 or something. We can filter the template with our own arbitrary code, so it would be great to have the capability to also filter the data. -dave PS: kudos too, for including tests! ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
