Escape data for the exact context it is inserted into (HTML text, attribute, JavaScript, URL, CSS), use templating that escapes by default, never build HTML by string concatenation, and back it with a strict CSP.

Goal

Ensure that user-controlled text is always displayed as text and never interpreted as markup or script, in every context of a page.

Prerequisites

A templating engine with automatic HTML escaping and a list of the places where untrusted data reaches HTML, attributes, scripts, URLs or CSS.

Steps

Render pages with a template engine whose auto-escaping is on; treat any |safe or raw insertion as a review item with a justification.
Encode per context, as the OWASP cheat sheet prescribes: HTML entity encoding for element content and quoted attributes; URL encoding for URL components; JSON encoding with < escaped for data inside <script type="application/json"> or JSON-LD blocks; avoid inserting data into JavaScript code or CSS at all.
Allow only safe URL schemes (https, http, relative) for user-supplied links; reject javascript: and data:.
Sanitise rich text with an allow-list sanitiser if HTML input must be accepted; prefer a restricted Markdown renderer with raw HTML disabled.
Deploy a strict Content Security Policy so that a missed context does not execute.
Keep regression tests with payloads for each context.

Expected result

Payloads such as <script>, onerror= attributes and javascript: links appear literally on the page and never run; the CSP report log stays quiet.

Limits and test basis

Encoding protects rendering, not storage or other consumers of the data (emails, PDFs) which need their own encoding. DOM-based XSS in client-side scripts needs the same discipline in JavaScript. Guidance follows the cited cheat sheet.
