61 Sometimes it's nice to let a sub-component build its own
62 representation. However, you always have to be very careful about
63 whose responsibility escaping is. Only the building function knows
64 enough about the structure to be able to HTML escape properly.
66 But higher functions should not have to care if the output is already
67 escaped -- they should be able to simply escape it again. Without
68 producing stuff like '&'.
70 Stringification is overloaded. It will return the same as L<escaped>.
72 This works together with the template plugin
73 L<SL::Template::Plugin::P> and its C<escape> method.
81 Creates an instance of C<EscapedText>.
83 The parameter C<text> is the text to escape. If it is already an
84 instance of C<EscapedText> then C<$params{text}> is returned
87 Otherwise C<text> is HTML-escaped and stored in the new instance. This
88 can be overridden by setting C<$params{is_escaped}> to a trueish
93 Returns the escaped string (not an instance of C<EscapedText> but an
