How to use APEX_ESCAPE

TinkerBoyAug 28 2018 — edited Aug 29 2018

Yesterday I asked what is the best way to handle HTML characters in input fields

Best way to do Input Sanitization ?

This restriction works well but there are certain cases we can not use it. So we are looking at the APEX_ESCAPE api.

This is a simple API but I just want to make sure I understand how to use it. If I use the API the special characters will be replaced by other text.

So my question is how do you display the correct text / tags in page items.

The Text < TAG TEST 2 > is displayed like this in a text area page item.
