Description _ pkuzel 2001-08-14 12:24:16 UTC
These simple editor actions should take selected text in editor end escape it to
be valid content or attribute value. E.g.:

<erer&;fdf]]> => &lt;erer&amp;;fdf]]&gt;

A closely-related variant would be to escape
the selection as a CDATA 
section, replacing
occurrences of "]]" with "]]>]]<![CDATA[".
Comment 2 _ pkuzel 2002-06-03 12:27:13 UTC
Let these are considered while planning next release.
