This is a very simple extension to Tapestry. It adds a new binding prefix, "plain:".

Plain works just like "message:", except that any HTML elements are scrubbed, and XML entities are replaced with the corresponding characters.

For example, let's say you have the following properties file:

banner=Welcome, <em>honored guest</em>!

and page template:

<dl>
  <dt>normal</dt>
  <dd>${message:banner}</dd>
  <dt>raw</dt>
  <dd><t:outputraw value="message:banner"/></dd>
  <dt>plain</dt>
  <dd>${plain:banner}</dd>
</dl>

Rendered output would be:

<dl>
  <dt>normal</dt>
  <dd>Welcome, &lt;em&gt;honored guest&lt;/em&gt;!</dd>
  <dt>raw</dt>
  <dd>Welcome, <em>honored guest</em>!</dd>
  <dt>plain</dt>
  <dd>Welcome, honored guest!</dd>
</dl>
