Henri Yandell commented on LANG-498:
------------------------------------
Hopefully LANG-505 will remove the need to do this. Instead you would have an easy API to pick and choose the escaping elements you want.
> Add StringEscapeUtils.escapeText() methods

> I needed to escape text to be print out to a file; mainly so that all non-ASCII characters (< 32 and >=127) are printed out as escapes (if available) or unicode escapes. This is a one-way conversion, there is no way to find out whether a String contained "\\n" or a newline before conversion, so I just set up escapeText() methods, no unescapeText().
> Please apply to the next release of commons-lang. :-)
