Hi All,
After a failed attempt to update to 2.3.7 yesterday I’ve tried again
today to upgrade to 2.3.8 and whilst most of the site is working I’m
still getting some content escaped.
I’ve got a helper method that takes a block and uses concat, it can
also take some content passed through in a parameter - if content is
passed in via the parameter then that is getting escaped. Is this the
expected behaviour for 2.3.8 or is this something else that has
slipped through the cracks.
If it is expected behaviour, how do I stop it doing the escaping?
Cheers
jeb
