+1 for removing automatic escaping. We have had lots of issues with
this.
$view['escaper']->escape($var, 'html')
Is somewhat verbose (but what isn't in templates, anyway?), but I
think that is better to avoid following different patterns and start
adding style exceptions (Imagine the documentation: "In the case of
output escape helpers they are not view helpers but functions that
become available in the templates -or globally available-...").
The helper approach has the additional benefit of supporting many
escape strategies with the second parameter. It could let the user
define "escape extensions" to add custom output formats with the same
helper.
Maybe the escape extensions should have static methods so they can be
easily used out of the templating service and wrapped with global
functions if the user prefers a shortcut without the complexity of the
templating service. A use case like:
function eHtml($html) {
return \Symfony\Component\Templating\Helper\Escape
\Html::escape($html);
}
