Hello,
we are working on getting a site properly HTML validated. One of the problems
are menus or categories from the database containing an ampersand like
Dungeons & Dragons.
I wrote the following filter for this and the other HTML special entities:
CodeDef encode_special_entities Filter
CodeDef encode_special_entities Description Encode HTML special entities <>&;
CodeDef encode_special_entities Routine <<EOR
sub {
my $val = shift;
$val =~ s/"/"/g;
$val =~ s/&/&/g;
$val =~ s/</</g;
$val =~ s/>/>/g;
return $val;
}
EOR
Any comments on this? What would be a good short alias for it?
Oh, and I really like the Firefox plugin HTML validator :-).
It is quite useful for cleaning up HTML.
Regards
Racke
