[virtualcommons-svn] Sanitation experiment

[Allen L. <All...@as...>]

Ah ok. That's much more useful information. You should probably also
add href='#' to your a tags; some browsers don't like it when the href
is blank.

Next, there's two ways to get around this - the first is a quick &
easy solution and the second is probably what we would go with
longer-term.

1. Turn off autoescaping via {%autoescape off %} ... {% endautoescape
%} or via the safe filter, e.g., {{game_state|safe}} (Try the safe
filter first, it's more concise).

2. I think we'll eventually want to create a custom template tag /
filter (pollutify?) that takes two parameters - a string resource
("Sanitation is blah blah blah ...") and a list of active pollution
(basically character positions) and returns a new string with hrefs
inserted into the text at each position specified by the active
pollution list. I can show you how to do this the next time you come
in.
