Description

Anywhere that user input is displayed in a page there is the opportunity for html (or worse javascript?) injection. Using ${X} directly renders the text so a user input of "<td>nice</td>" would change the layout of the page.

Find and correct all cases to ${X.encodeAsHtml()}.

The bulk of these have been corrected, don't seem to have been as many as I first thought. This is also now standard programming practice in gnuMims so closing this ticket and creating a reminder ticket #58 since the security issue is now negated.
