Christine Chan commented on WICKET-5242:
----------------------------------------

Sorry, I forgot to escape in the comment, it turns into 

<a wicket:id="status" href="#" id="ok" onclick="showDetailedMsg(&amp;#039;This 
is a detailed message&amp;#039; ); return false">ERROR</a>

>             Project: Wicket
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: wicket
>    Affects Versions: 6.7.0

>              Labels: escaping, html, tags
>
> Currently, all component tag attributes are escaped.With html5 data- 
> attributes, much more values can be considered valid depending on the tag 
> attribute and some should not be escaped.
> For example, bootstrap tooltips use the "data-title" attribute to set the 
> content of a tooltip. Using Wicket's tag attributes, it's not possible to set 
> the value "<b>hello world</b>" as the data-title since it is escaped.
> ComponentTag#writeOutput() is the method which calls 
> Strings.escapeMarkup(value); and escapes tag values. This is called by 
> Component#renderComponentTag().
> There should be a way to disable component tag escaping either per-tag or 
> per-component.
