I stumbled on the fact that text_area_tag does not HTML escape its
content by default. For example:
text_area_tag “body”, “”
At the very least, are we amendable to adding a note in the
FormTagHelper docs about the escaping rules?

I’ve put up an updated ticket and patch:
Since making that first patch two years ago, the corresponding
text_area method in FormHelper now escapes its contents by default, so
I think there’s a good case for text_area_tag having the same
behaviour, for consistency’s sake if nothing else.

I’ve posted a new ticket on Lighthouse with an up-to-date patch:
I also noticed that the text_area method in FormHelper actually does
escape its contents now, so text_area_tag probably should do the same
for consistency’s sake if nothing else.
