Joris,

ERB’s html_escape only handles &, “, .

Here’s the source from the link you provide:

# File erb.rb, line 806
def html_escape(s)
s.to_s.gsub(/&/, “&”).gsub(/\”/, “"”).gsub(/>/, “>”).gsub(/ end

Why don’t you just use ERB’s built-in functionality?
“html_escape” or simply “h”

I got the permission to push the plugin on github, so you can use it as git submodule, if you like.
