add Htmlable, so the cleaner {{ can be used instead of {!!

[bussnet]

Make all Elements/Groups Htmlable so the Helper can used "cleaner" {{ Form::text() }} instead of {!! Form::text() !!}

laravel 5.x is needed, so travis failed at PHP5.4

I'm confused why you think it's dirty? {!! !!} is valid laravel syntax for displaying unescaped data :)

Would you ever wrap renderable HTML in htmlentities()? ie.

<?php echo htmlentities('<input type="text" name="my-input">') ?>

[bussnet]

Dirty is wrong, thats why I use " ;)

But it's a lot cleaner to use {{ }}, because:

• {{ }} is the default, used for nearly every html-returning-object (Html, Form, other Plugins)
• both ways works and the most of the other plugins use {{, so no confusing for the customer
• there is a big red-box-warning for {!! !!} at the laravel doc
• the customer don't now that bootforms use htmlentities to escape the userdata
• to mark an object that return html code as Htmlable is the best way

So I think it's not dirty, but cleaner and better is to use {{ }}

Fair enough thanks! Personally, I don't feel dirty about using {!! !!}. The big red-box warning on Laravel docs isn't saying "don't use this", it's saying "be careful and don't use this everywhere". That said, the Htmlable feature in Laravel is intriguing.

Adam also made a good point in that Bootforms is framework agnostic. Maybe we can implement this in a way that's only loaded when the Laravel service provider is used? I'll leave this open for now.

Thats a good point. I only thought about this in a laravel-context.

Do you see any way for implementing this conditionally for Laravel? Or it just doesn't fit in your conception for this package?

I can't really think of any way to do it conditionally just for Laravel unfortunately. I mean there are ways, but it would just be so convoluted that I don't know it's worth it.
