How to format html in plugin velocity template

I'm writing a plugin for a new Web Panel on the issues screen in Jira 5.0.1.

In that panel I pull a field in and try to display it. The field has embedded HTML and I want to format it.

The way to do this appears to be to use $textutils.htmlEncode(xxxx) method in the velocity template, but whatever I do the method does not appear to be called all I get in the output is $textutils.htmlEncode(xxxx) in the output.

If I just output the field contents (i.e. remove the outer htmlEncode method), it appears fine but without formatting.

Am I missing some way of "importing" $textutils into my plugin? I thought it should be in the default velocity context.

Only if you are calling super.getVelocityParameters in your getVelocityParameters method... are you?

You can also populate them with stuff like that by using: JiraVelocityUtils.getDefaultVelocityParams(authenticationContext)

I have no Java in my Plugin at all. All I have is the atlassian-plugin.xml file and the velocity template.

Can we see the section of the atlassian-plugin.xml that defines the new panel?

<web-panel name="XXX"

i18n-name-key="xxx.name"

key="xxx"

location="atl.jira.view.issue.right.context"

weight="0">

<description key="xxx.description">XXX</description>

<label>XXX</label>

<resource name="view" type="velocity" location="xxx.vm"/>

</web-panel>
