Is there a filter that will convert \n characters to <br /> tags as well as
converting other special characters to HTML entities?

Currently I display the data using this code:

<td>[% HTML.escape(s.contribution) %]</td>

if I change the \n to <br /> in the Perl code, that gets converted to
&lt;br /&gt; in the output naturally. I don't want to put actual Perl code
into the template. I don't see anything in Template::Plugin::HTML that
might help.
