 ## Sub-templates
 
 Inside your templates you may use `$this` to refer to the PhpRenderer object to render sub-templates. 
-If using a layout the `fetch()` method can be used instead of `render()` to avoid appling the layout to the sub-template.

+
+## Escaping values
+
+It's essential to ensure that the HTML output is secure to 
+prevent common web vulnerabilities like Cross-Site Scripting (XSS).
+This package has no built-in mitigation from XSS attacks.
+
+The following function uses the `htmlspecialchars` function 
+with specific flags to ensure proper encoding:
+
+```php
+function html(string $text = null): string
+{
+    return htmlspecialchars($text, ENT_QUOTES | ENT_SUBSTITUTE, 'UTF-8');
+}
+```
+
+You could consider setting it up as a global function in [composer.json](https://getcomposer.org/doc/04-schema.md#files).
+
+**Usage**
+
+```php
+Hello <?= html($name) ?>
+```
