Sometimes it's necessary to break some compatibility, the current behaviour is wrong, as it show for editing a different value from database field. To make the changes small, we can put default as Escape, and create a single config option to change default to do not escape. The new projects will be correct, and old projects can run correctly with only a single change in config. Which can be documented in the release docs. When showing data we check the new escapeHTML attribute : true escape all false escape only quotes After we decide the best option to be implemented, if you point me the best places to make this changes, I can change my patch and submit again. -- Ivan F.
