html escape

I want the following string to be output in html with the proper tags, but the output of the page shows topicname . How do I do this correctly?

<sum "%s" $catstr "" $topicname " ">
$ret

no need for sum. just use

$catstr$topicname

I actually do need the sum since I will be adding strings to this string after the sum statement, so I need to store it in a variable.

If you're sure $catstr and $topicname are properly encoded for HTML you can use <send $ret>. Otherwise use strfmt with %H to make sure they are encoded.
<strfmt "%H%H " $catstr $topicname>

Or you could <capture> my previous suggestion.
