Question about TMPL_VAR and ESCAPE=HTML
When using content such as ñ and a Chinese character like “字” they display just
fine in the browser when we use a tag like:
<!— TMPL_VAR NAME —>
However, if we use:
<!— TMPL_VAR NAME ESCAPE=“HTML” —>
the values do not display as their character but rather the HTML encoded value:
According to the documentation of HTML::Template escape HTML should only escape
5 characters:
Replaces the following characters with their HTML entity equivalent: &,
", ', <, >
However, it appears that it is doing more than just replacing those 5
characters with their HTML entity equivalent. It seems to be changing UTF-8
characters as well.
When calling HTML::Template->new() we are specifying:
utf8 => 1
The server is sending a Content-Type header of text/html; charset=UTF-8 and we
also employ the meta-tag for specifying the charset.
The HTML for the input tag looks like this:
<input type=“text” name=“middlename” value=“<!— TMPL_VAR NAME=‘middlename’
ESCAPE=HTML—>” title=“Middle Name” />
Is this expected behavior? Is there a work-around? At this point the only
solution I see is to do my own escaping of just any double quotes and then use
the value in my TMPL_VAR without HTML escaping.
By the way, we’ve been using HTML::Template for years and it’s become a key
part of our software. We appreciate all that’s been done with it so far.
