custom converter html encoding

[ainglese]

Hi,i've a custom converter witch should output raw html, but the output of the converter gets html-encoded. i can't find any documentation if this is by design and how to avoid that.

//pseudocode
$.views.converters({
    _f:function(val){ return "€" + " " + val; }
});

<span data-link="{_f:amount}"></span>
//the output is €&nbsp;1234

Yes, it is by design: the default data-linking target is innerText - so it HTML encodes by default.

See the following topics:

• http://www.jsviews.com/#link-text-html
• http://www.jsviews.com/#link-tags
• http://www.jsviews.com/#linked-elem-syntax
  • A data-linked span element (data binding to innerText – default target)
  • The default target for most elements is innerText, but for input and select elements it is value.
  • <div data-link="{:name}"></div> (one-way binding to innerText – default target attrib – so automatically HTML encodes)

So with your converter, you can choose the html target:

<span data-link="html{_f:amount}"></span>

Alternatively you could use:

{^{_f:amount}}

ok, so the encoding is done on the default binding to innerText, i was assuming it was being done in the converter. now it's clear, thank you!
