[request] Escape sequences

is it possible to add in a system so tbs will escape strings for you?

I am not sure how to best do it...
I thought of several ways to do it:
'{var._syst_standard_mail;escape=';echar=\}'
(Where \ could be default for echar)

or
'{var._syst_standard_mail;escape}'
looks if the tbs is included within a string (but this seems to me to be nearly impossible to implement correctly}



I am not sure how you look at this problem, because it could very well be my own PHP responsibility to do this right, and we do want to keep programming code out of the template, but then again, it is not really application logic or anything...

Hi,

TBS does escape string yet:
  htmlconv=esc

That isn't really the same is it?

PHP

Template:

Result in Javascript:
Where I would need this:
alert ('lalala\'djskj');

ps, I see you fixed the bug in this message as well :)

Ho yes, that's true.

This can be done with the new MergeField() feature which enables you to merge some tags with a user function.

I don't undestand why you need to protec string in the page with chars you whant?

well, because obviously Javascript does not like your escape character method.

I need the quotes to be escaped with a backslash, and I only need the single quote escaped....

This seems a nice solution next to you last answer:
'{var._syst_standard_mail;escape='&%;echar=\}'
escapes the ', & and % characters with a backslash (& and % are only to demonstrate what I mean)

But I don't know how easy and fast this would be....
