[stringtemplate-interest] html escaping

[polina orechko]

Hello,

I am integrating StringTemplate as a template engine in a Struts-based web 
app.

One of the questions I have is about HTML escaping, such as converting <, >, 
quotes, etc. into their HTML entity equivalents such as &lt; &gt; etc..

As far as I can see from the source code, StringTemplate does not provide 
such an option out of the box, is this understanding correct?

One way to do this would be to provide a String getter that would return an 
encoded String, which quite cumbersome.

The second question is whether providing a render for String.class via 
StringTemplate.registerRenderer looks like a better solution?  Would it work 
well?  Are there any hidden caveats or problems that may surface?

Thanks in advance, any help would be greatly appreciated.
