The EscapedWr interface provides a subclass of Wr.T which supports record-oriented writes to a stream. All text is passed on to the child Wr.T unchanged, except that a '.' at the beginning of a line is doubled. When the EscapedWr.T is closed, an end of record indication is written to the child. The end of record is .\n if it follows a newline in the text, or \n.+\n otherwise.

INTERFACE EscapedWr;

IMPORT Wr;

TYPE
  T <: Public;

  Public = Wr.T OBJECT METHODS
    init(wr: Wr.T;
	 closeChild: BOOLEAN := TRUE): T;
  END;

   (* If "closeChild" is "TRUE" (the default), then closing the escaped
   writer will also cause the child writer to be closed.  If it is "FALSE",
   then the child writer will be left open. *)

END EscapedWr.
