Is it true that a pinhole projector can be used to safely view a solar eclipse?

Yes. An encyclopedia entry states that the sun can be viewed indirectly with a pinhole projector made from two pieces of cardboard, casting an image of the sun. Other items mention safe eclipse-viewing tools and projection methods but do not specifically address pinhole projectors.
