[Solar-talk] html formatting and escape()

That's strange.  I just ran this quick script ...

<?php
require_once 'Solar.php';
Solar::start(false);

$html = "<a href='test'>Test</a>";
$view = Solar::factory('Solar_View');
echo $view->escape($html);

Solar::stop();
?>

... and the output (in browser source) is in fact "&lt;a  
href='test'&gt;Test&lt;/a&gt;" which is the way it should be.

Have I missed the point of your question?
