I fixed the problem by stringing the replace statements (which I didn't know
I could do, but just seemed like the Right thing to do)
ie:
[% MACRO unescape(text)
text.replace('{b}', '<b>').replace('{/b}', '</b>').replace('{i}',
'<i>').replace('{/i}', '</i>').etc..
%]
As you can see I am creating a small "text editor" for textareas so users
can have "rich text" like bold, and Italics while I still am using the
CGI.pm's escapseHTML subroutine, to eliminate unwanted HTML. I restrict it
to only bold, italic, underline, and hyperlink. No other HTML will be
"translated". Javascript, perl, and TT ROCK!!
Thanks guys!!
