Hi Freemarker Devs,
I have a question about the Autoescaping and the outputformat,
https://freemarker.apache.org/docs/dgui_misc_autoescaping.html
Examplecode:
<#ftl output_format="HTML">
<#outputformat "plainText">
<#function testFunction>
<#local result><@testMacro /></#local>
<#return result />
</#function>
</#outputformat>
<#outputformat "plainText">
<#macro testMacro>
&
</#macro>
</#outputformat>
Test Function: ${testFunction()}
Test Macro: <@testMacro/>
Output:
Test Function: &
Test Macro: &
It looks like outputformat is not working surrounding a function. The simplest
fix is to add ?no_esc to the call:
${testFunction()?no_esc}
But we have a lot of calls of this function and don't want to change all
templates.
So I tried this code (without outputformat):
<#ftl output_format="HTML">
<#function testFunction>
<#local result><@testMacro /></#local>
<#return result />
</#function>
<#outputformat "plainText">
<#macro testMacro>
&
</#macro>
</#outputformat>
Test Function: ${testFunction()}
Test Macro: <@testMacro/>
Output:
Test Function: &
Test Macro: &
Why does it work without the ouputformat surrounding the function? Or maybe,
why does the outputformat do the opposite to the function?
Thank you,
Michael Riehemann
