Elliotte Rusty Harold commented on MCHANGES-466:
------------------------------------------------
OK, if it's in a CDATA section then it''s just text then it's just text and
it's not violating the schema. You're passing this text into doxia and, and
Doxia interprets it as text. You want the ability to call sink.rawText instead
of sink.text for the specified content.
[https://maven.apache.org/doxia/developers/sink.html#Avoid_sink.rawText.21]
There's a very strong impedance mismatch between the APIs here that will make
this very tricky to get right without unintended side effects. We need to tread
carefully.

> Key: MCHANGES-466
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MCHANGES-466
> Project: Maven Changes Plugin
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Stefan Seifert
> Priority: Major
>
> By default, all text read from changes.xml is interpreted as plaint text, and
> transferred 1:1 to the generated changes reports, which is most times HTML,
> but can also be other formats like PDF. Thus any HTML markup that is included
> in changes.xml is not treated as markup but as plain text, even if HTML
> output is generated.
> Goal of this ticket is to introduced a new parameter {{passRawText}} for the
> {{changes}} goal, which passes the text contained in changes XML as "raw
> text" to Doxia, allowing HTML markup contained in changes.xml to be
> transferred 1:1 to the output, thus being interpreted as HTML markup in HTML
> output. The parameter is set to false by default. I has to be documented
> clearly to the user that setting this parameter to true will break any
> non-HTML output, so users should use it with care.
> If enabled, and if only HTML output is used, setting the parameter to true
> allows to use advanced formatting/markup in the changes reports like:
> * Links (anchor tags)
> * Simple formatting like bold and italics to highlight important things in
> the changelog
> ---
> This new feature is a replacement for the {{escapeHTML}} parameter, which was
> present in changes plugin version 2.x and was removed for 3.x as it was
> marked as deprecated a long time ago.
> Technically, an implementation for this new feature is quite similar to
> reverting PRs https://github.com/apache/maven-changes-plugin/pull/54 and
> https://github.com/apache/maven-changes-plugin/pull/48, but using a different
> parameter name and inverse parameter meaning. An integration test should be
> added as well.
