Generate XML using Sightly

[ronald_ploeger]

Hi,

I would like to use Sightly to generate XML and properly XML escape the text. So what I would like to do is

<myTag>${properties.text @context='xml'}</myTag>

but this does not seem to be possible.

I have seen that in Sightly one has access to some Java backed objects like 'xssAPI'. So now I would like to use the method xssAPI.encodeForXML but I do not see how I could call this method in Sightly.

Any help how to do xml escaping in sightly is appreciated.

Thanks,
Ronald

With Slighty - you can pass operations to Java. You can easily create XML using Java and various Java APIs like W3C APIs. To learn how to work with Sighty and Java, see:
