    Use in templates: Encode email field output

    Unlike the email KirbyTag, the email field does not encode your email addresses to prevent misuse by spam bots. If you want to make use of Kirby's built-in email obfuscation, you have several options:

    Using Html::email()

    <?= Html::email($page->email()) ?>

    Using Str::encode()

    <a href="mailto:<?= Str::encode($page->email()) ?>">
    <?= Str::encode($page->email()) ?>
</a>

    Using kirbytag()

    <?= kirbytag([
      'email' => $page->email(),
      'text'  => 'Contact us'
    ]);
?>
