Rails - Dec 2005 - Rendering text in a controller, converting to html

I''d like to use render :text => h(''this text should be html
escaped so
that things like <hi> are still printed!'')

How do I do this?  I assume I just need to require a file in the 
controller, but I''m not sure what

Do I need to specify more information?
Is something I wrote unclear?

I can''t beleive that this is a stumper!

require ''cgi''

CGI::escapeHTML ''<h1> foobar </h1>''

will work...
