HTML Formatting in outputText (Escape Attribute)

For applying styling to some of the content, outputText's escape attribute could be used. Example:-

<af:outputText value="&lt;h2>ADF Tips and Tricks&lt;/h2>"/>
<af:outputText value="&lt;h2>ADF Tips and Tricks&lt;/h2>"
               escape="false"/>
