@Editable does not HtmlEncode

Question

We are using Sitecore 7 and MVC + Glass.mapper to build a new site.

Strange thing is that when we use @Editable(x => x.SectionTitle), when in Edit mode the SectionTitle field's content gets HtmlEncoded, but not in preview or normal mode. (So if there is "" in the title field, it is output as <H1> in edit mode, but as <H1> in normal and preview)

If we use @HTML.Sitecore().Field("SectionTitle") however, it always gets HtmlEncoded, and that is the behaviour we are looking for when using a single line text field...

Is this a Glitch in Glass?

Mike, this is the cshtml code:

<section>
    <H2> @Html.Sitecore().Field("SectieTitel")</H2>
    <h2>@Editable(x => x.SectieTitel)</h2>
    @Html.Sitecore().DynamicPlaceholder("sectieInhoud")
</section>

We generate the models with T4 and TDS, this is the Sectie class generated:

namespace XXXXXXXXXXXXX
{

    public interface ISectie : IGlassItem // , ITagging
    {
            /// <summary>
        /// The SectieTitel field.
        /// <para></para>
        /// <para>Field Type: Single-Line Text</para>       
        /// <para>Field ID: 2e364ec5-f0d4-4f16-baa3-fa9207f89cf6</para>
        /// <para>Custom Data: </para>
        /// </summary>
        string SectieTitel  {get; set;}

        }



    [SitecoreType(TemplateId="1760c3c6-a623-404a-98be-a0d4335a03cc")]
    public partial class Sectie  : GlassItem, ISectie 
    {
                private string _sectieTitel;

        /// <summary>
        /// The SectieTitel field.
        /// <para></para>
        /// <para>Field Type: Single-Line Text</para>       
        /// <para>Field ID: 2e364ec5-f0d4-4f16-baa3-fa9207f89cf6</para>
        /// <para>Custom Data: </para>
        /// </summary>
        [global::System.CodeDom.Compiler.GeneratedCodeAttribute("Team Development for Sitecore - GlassItem.tt", "1.0")]
        [SitecoreField("SectieTitel")]
        public virtual string SectieTitel  
        {
            get { return _sectieTitel; } 
            set { _sectieTitel = value; }
        }

            private object /* UNKNOWN */ _tags;

        /// <summary>
        /// The Tags field.
        /// <para></para>
        /// <para>Field Type: Multilist with Search</para>      
        /// <para>Field ID: 3a837ce8-7a1b-4cbf-8be9-9cebbdf1c48a</para>
        /// <para>Custom Data: </para>
        /// </summary>
        [global::System.CodeDom.Compiler.GeneratedCodeAttribute("Team Development for Sitecore - GlassItem.tt", "1.0")]
        [SitecoreField("Tags")]
        public virtual object /* UNKNOWN */ Tags  
        {
            get { return _tags; } 
            set { _tags = value; }
        }


        public static string TemplateId { get { return "1760c3c6-a623-404a-98be-a0d4335a03cc"; } }
    }

}

In the cshtml you can see that I use the Sitecore MVC field and the glass way. Glass does not output htmlencoded strings while sitecore MVC does in preview and normal...

I have made a blog post that details how you could solve this problem.

I will be adding the EncodedString type to the next Glass.Mapper.Sc release. Thanks for the suggestion.
