Hi.

Is there a way to disable erubis auto escaping? I understand the  
implications, and in our project everything in sanitized during input.

On the other hand, we use a lot of:  
\<%= “#{translate something} value #{translate another thing}  
#{link\_to …}” if something else %\>

Because of string interpolation everything gets borked.
