>
> All text based components use a central function to escape html markup probably contained in the text.
> This is good style but the used method Strings.escapeMarkup() does not fullfill its contract.
> It does NOT escape all input but instead GUESSES and so it does not escape the String "&#" because it assumes
> an entity.
> That means it is not possible to display data which looks like a numeric entity.
> This utility method should not guess about it's input but escape blindly.
> If an entity should be "tunnelled through", there should be some kind of attributation.
> Using the current code it's not possible to have a text value of e.g. '&#20;' getting properly stored and displayed
> as exactly these 5 chars.
