Re: [fw-mvc] How do I customize the escape() function for HTML rendering?

In index.phtml I'm able to grab the data on my little zend framework site
using the foreach loop:

foreach($this->text as $text) :
if ($this->escape($text->page) == $this->escape($this->id)) {
$page_id = $this->escape($text->page);
$content1 = $this->escape($text->content1);
$content2 = $this->escape($text->content2);
}
endforeach;

Then when I go to display one of the content variables like so:

<?php print $content2; ?>

It renders all of the HTML in the data as ascii. E.g., the bit of data from
mysql '<h2>Hot off the press!</h2>' is rendered in the source code as
'&lt;h2&gt;Hot off the press!&lt;/h2&gt;', In other words, it renders
literally '<h2>Hot off the press!</h2>' in the web browser view.

There's no Zend_View instance being activated in my bootstrap. The
IndexController.php contains an action for the index page (which I'm testing
here) as such:

function indexAction()
{
$this->view->title = "NJAIMH: Welcome";
$this->view->id = "index";
// initialize class from application/models/Text.php
$text = new Text();
$this->view->text = $text->fetchAll();
}

in models/Text.php is just this :

class Text extends Zend_Db_Table
{
protected $_name = 'text';
}

You can see in index.phml in the first bit of code above that I'm using the
escape function. I tried removing it and it gives me an error message.
According to the documentation here:
http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/zend.view.scripts.html
I cannot escape the escape() function (haha!).

These two forum threads say that there's a default setting for escape that
uses htmlspecialchars().

I know I'm missing something obvious here, but I don't know what it is!!!
