TYPO3.Fluid

For some of the provided ViewHelpers one can exchangeably use either the value attribute or childnodes as input.

So all of the below variants should behave the same:

1<f:format.plaintext>{foo}</f:format.plaintext>
2{foo -> f:format.plaintext()}
3<f:format.plaintext value="{foo}" />
4{f:format.plaintext(value: foo)}

But in fact the first two examples will get an escaped {foo} because by default the EscapeInterceptor is activated.

A solution would be to deactivate the interceptor for those ViewHelper by inserting the line

1protected $escapingInterceptorEnabled = FALSE;

NOTE: This disables htmlspecialchars() from beeing applied to childnodes so this must not be done for ViewHelpers that directly output the childnodes again!
