[REBOL] Re: TML tags in content, not in source

[Thomas Jensen]

Hello Tim,

< and > will do fine.

If you want to be able to display abitary strings, you could write a function to 
escape the special HMTL characters.

here's a starter

html-escape: func [source] [
    source: copy source
    replace/all source "&" "&"
    replace/all source "<" "&lt;"
    replace/all source ">" "&gt;"
    source
]

## print html-escape "<!-- this is a test -->"
&lt;!-- this is a test --&gt;


Best regards
Thomas Jensen
