> At OFBIZ-7041 [~fbr@14x.net] suggested that we turn Freemarker autoescaping on. Quoting him there:
> {quote}
> This new version of FreeMarker includes auto-escaping and output formats. The <#escape> directive has been deprecated. Notice the comment at the very end of this page:
> "FreeMarker automatically escapes all values printed ... if it's properly configured (that's the responsibility of the programmers; [see here how|http://freemarker.org/docs/pgui_config_outputformatsautoesc.html])."
> Would be good to turn autoescaping on, and set the configuration to match .ftl as HTML and .fo.ftl as XML.

> If we are going down that path I guess we have to visit a lot of Freemarker template files, right?

> Here is my answer
> {quote}
> We don' t use any <#escape> directives in all OFBiz. We have a couple of <#noescape> which should be replaced by <#noautoesc>. So I agree we could set the Freemarker environement to auto-escaping, and test if it has not unexpected side-effects.
> Could be that this will fix or complicate the issue I crossed (at bottom) of OFBIZ-7041 and more recently at OFBIZ-7343, let's see...
