Comment (by headache):
Sure, here's a bit more info.
The following should create a link with an unescaped title attribute
containing an ellipsis:
{{{
echo $html->link(
'click me',
array('controller' => 'users', 'action' => 'login'),
array('title' => 'to escape … or not escape?', 'escape' =>
false),
false, false
);
}}}
However, HtmlHelper::link() unsets the 'escape' option before passing
$htmlAttributes to _parseAttributes() so the title is not escaped.
I think that getting rid of the $escapeTitle param and moving things into
options that can be passed down to other methods, as it appears to me to
be the reasoning for checking the option in addition to $escapeTitle, is
laudable. Though, you must consider that the 'escape' option will then be
doing double duty for both the link text (awkwardly-named $title param)
and the link's attributes (eg. title, alt, etc.).
In any case, the fix is to remove this line:
{{{
unset($htmlAttributes['escape']);
}}}
so that _parseAttributes() will receive the escape option.
