Feature Proposal: Add encode and newline Parameters to FORMFIELD

Motivation

When you feed a FORMFIELD into an HTML input field it needs to be html encoded. Although it is possible to enclose a FORMFIELD into an ENCODE, it will miss corner cases such as when the returned form field value contains quotes.

Description and Documentation

Add new encode="" parameter to FORMFIELD, same as type="" parameter in ENCODE, and encode="" parameter in URLPARAM.

Add also a newline="" parameter to FORMFIELD, same as newline="" parameter in URLPARAM.

Examples

<form>
<input type="text" name="LastName" value="%FORMFIELD{ "LastName" encode="html" }%" size="30" />
</form>

This is now in SVN trunk. I added also a newline parameter, in line with VarURLPARAM.
