Turn off escaping?

[AndreasWeinzierl]

Hello,

I use ProcessWire as a Service for a WebApp.

I store text in fields of Type Text.

While I save text with the `<`-symbol in the fields, when I read the field using PHP by callinig $page->text (the field is called text), I retrieve `&lt;` instead.

Same goes for other symbols. 

However, I would like to display the text, even with HTML, so it is quite unhelpful, because I have to convert it back again.

 

Whats the way to go there with ProcessWire?

You probably have a text formatter activated (field definition > details tab). If this is not the case, maybe you do escaping elsewhere; I assume you deliver JSON to your web app?

Thank you for your fast reply!

I have HTML Entity Encoder (htmlspecialchars) listed there. Could be the problem. Ill test it tomorrow.

Its there by default, isn't it? At least, I cannot remember activating it.

My data is delivered using Protobuf (binary-format).
