Subject: NEWBIE eruby basic form problem

I'm trying to capture comments from a textarea field to add to a
database but I cannot figure out how to deal with escaping the data.

  <form action="review.rhtml" method="post">
  <input type="hidden" name="date" value="<%=today%>">
  <label for="comment">Your Comment:</label>
  <br>
  <textarea name="comment" cols="60" rows="5"></textarea>
  <p><input type="submit" value="Submit Review"></p>
  </form>
Is there something I can do to "<%=comment%>" to handle '' "" etc.

Many thanks any help is appreciated
