Description

Right now we're not doing any escaping, but we probably should.

Maybe instead of a single text API, we should expose two?

  • text: takes strings and escapes them
  • raw_text: takes strings and doesn't escape them

Thoughts?

Contributor guide

Research direction
Look at the current `text` implementation and identify where escaping can be added. Research standard HTML escaping rules and implement them.
