Installation: Import into the configuration for special objects.

Registration of the code without "Escaping" of critical characters via an ASCII text field of a special objects.

Render result of the code: all registered characters are displayed correctly and not rendered dynamically.

View of the object definition; the special object consists of the element 'text' and presentation methods which ensure with the function <dtml-var "getObjAttrValue(getObjAttr('text'),REQUEST)" html_quote> that DTML code will not be rendered. The code is bordered with the HTML tag <pre>; by this all line breaks and blanks are rendered just like they were entered. The var attribute "html_quote" ensures that the output of HTML entities is correct.
Note: Find more about the var attributes resp. the output of line breaks (newline_to_br), URLs (url_quote) etc. here: DTML Reference
