Great! That seems to be the answer -- thanks so much. I hadn't used render tags before, but I tried pasting your code into a template and it worked. Actually, in my case, it's not the headline that I need to put into a variable... I tried replacing "CurrentPage.Headline" with "CurrentPage.txt_body" and that failed, BUT searching the web for "reddot render tags" I found this syntax, which does do the trick:
var = "<%!! Escape:HtmlEncode(Context:CurrentPage.Elements.GetElement(txt_body).Value) !! %>" Thanks again for suggesting render tags.
