ShowMessageStanza callback with 3.8.0 + html escaping on output text

RT Users

Hi,

I have written a basic ShowMessageStanza callback following instructions
from http://wiki.bestpractical.com/view/CustomizingWithCallbacks/2212 as
follows to create links automatically when matching patterns. In this
case, the pattern is 4 alphabetic characters followed by 4 digits.

<%init>
my $val = $$content;
use bytes;
$val =~ s|\b[A-Z]{4}\d{4}\b|$&</a>|g;
$$content = $val;
</%init>
<%args>
$content => undef
</%args>

The code runs as expected, however my output has been html escaped, so
if I see the message body.

Here is ABCD1234 as requested.

This appears in the browser window as:

Is there some trick I need to do to make this not escape my output?

Cheers,
David

Ok - perhaps the wiki is out of date. I’ve managed to do this using a
Custom MakeClicky action as specified here:

Guess the wiki should be updated…

RT has Mason auto-escape output. You can prevent this on a per-print basis
with something like <% $var |n%>

IIRC MakeClicky also escapes, but 3.8.2 includes the ability to not do so
