+		<title>Obfuscating E-mail Addresses</title>
+		<para>
+		Do you ever wonder how your E-mail address gets on so many spam mailing
+		lists? One way spammers collect E-mail addresses is from web pages. To
+		help combat this problem, you can make your E-mail address show up in a
+		scrambled looking form in the HTML source, yet it it will look and work
+		correctly in the browser. This is done with the escape modifier.

+---------
+
+Send inquiries to
+&lt;a href="mailto:{$EmailAddress|escape:"hex"}&gt;{$EmailAddress|escape:"hexentity"}&lt;/a&gt;

+OUTPUT:
+
+Send inquiries to 
+&lt;a
+href="mailto:%62%6f%62%40%6d%65%2e%6e%65%74"&gt;&amp;#x62;&amp;#x6f;&amp;#x62;&amp;#x40;&amp;#x6d;&amp;#x65;&amp;#x2e;&amp;#x6e;&amp;#x65;&amp;#x74;&lt;/a&gt;

+	<para>
+	Although this looks like a mess in the HTML source, it will render
+	correctly in your browser, and the mailto: hyperlink will go to the correct
+	address.
+	</para>
+	<para>
+	TECHNICAL NOTE: Of course this isn't 100% foolproof. Although highly unlikely, a
+	spammer could conceivably write his e-mail collecter to decode these
+	values.
