Hello,

what ever the intention of the generator is, the point is the validity
of the returned code. And retured code has to be valid.

So, to precise my question: how to do this escaping with the generator?
Where is the generator located? Is it possible to do the escaping
within Interchange, like: [some_tag]link_to_be_escaped[/some_tag]?


Thank You for any help
