There is an Escape.java class that is currently used
in Anakia to do this. You can simply grab that class
place it in the context and go!
context.put("escape", new Escape());
and use it in your template as
$escape.getText($stringToEscape)
We are planning to move all useful tools into a single
location soon and make them available as a useful set
of context tools and the Escape class will be one
of them.
jvz.
