Either write

[+ local $escmode = 0; $var +]

then you have make sure your $var really contains valid html and everything
is correctly escaped, or if you for example want a <b> in your data, put
\<b\> in the database.

P.S. escmode can also be set globaly for the whole file or inside your
httpd.conf
