[fw-db] Viewing dtabase result without escape

Hello all,

I am trying to put up my personal blog site. I want to display title and an
instroduction to article and when user clicks on the Read More link, he will
get the whole story.

In bodytext I have some HTML tags to format my story. But when I try to
print them on the screen, if I use escape(), it escapes from the
htmlentities. I want to keep the format of my story.
The code that I am using is;

<?php foreach ($this->articles as $articles): ?>

<h1><a href="/article/view/id/<?php echo
$this->escape($articles->id);?>">
<?php echo
$this->escape($articles->title);?></a></h1>

<p><?php echo
$this->escape(substr($articles->bodytext,0,400));?> </p>
<p> <a href="">More</a></p>
<p class="comments align-right clear">
Author: <?php echo
$this->escape($articles->author);?>
<a href="">Comments()</a>
Puablished Date: <?php echo
$this->escape($articles->date_published);?>
</p>
<?php endforeach;?>

When I remove the escape function I am getting the following error;

Catchable fatal error: Object of class Zend_Db_Table_Row could not be
converted to string in

Is there way to keep the format?

Thanks in advance
