Using TextResources in UiBinder

[Isaac Truett]

I want to include a block of text from a ClientBundle's TextResource in a UiBinder template.

Logically, I want this:

<!DOCTYPE ui:UiBinder SYSTEM "http://dl.google.com/gwt/DTD/xhtml.ent">

<ui:UiBinder xmlns:ui="urn:ui:com.google.gwt.uibinder"

<ui:with field="res" type="foo.resources.ClientResources"/>

<div>

{res.myTextResource.getText}

</div>

</ui:UiBinder>

But this just prints the literal "{res.myTextResource.getText}". And yet this:

<!DOCTYPE ui:UiBinder SYSTEM "http://dl.google.com/gwt/DTD/xhtml.ent">

<ui:UiBinder xmlns:ui="urn:ui:com.google.gwt.uibinder"

<ui:with field="res" type="foo.resources.ClientResources"/>

<div id="{res.myTextResource.getText}">

</div>

</ui:UiBinder>

... yields the content of myTextResource in the ID of the div.

So, is there some voodoo hidden somewhere that allows me to use {res.foo} notation outside of an attribute? All of the examples shown in "Declarative Layout with UiBinder" are for setting attributes. If this isn't currently possible, is there a reason not to allow what I'm trying to do? Or is there a better approach that is equally or more concise?

Thanks,

Isaac

<ui:text from="{res.myTextResource.getText" /> ?

Interesting. Thanks, Thomas. That does appear to work, although I need to find a way to keep it from escaping HTML. Is ui:text documented somewhere?

Looks like ui:text was added last year. There's also a ui:safehtml a few months ago, but that doesn't appear to have made it into a release yet (?).

@David Is there documentation for UiBinder beyond Declarative Layout with UiBinder that I'm just not finding? I still can't find mention of ui:text outside of Group discussion which, unfortunately, I haven't been following as closely as I used to. It would be helpful to have a complete listing of supported elements.
