NAME

ns_quotehtml - Escape HTML characters so they appear as-is in HTML pages

SYNOPSIS

ns_quotehtml html

DESCRIPTION

Returns the contents of html with certain characters that are special in HTML replaced with an escape code. This allows text displayed in a webpage that might otherwise be interpreted as containing HTML markup instructions to be interpreted as literal characters to be displayed. Specifically:

• < becomes <
• > becomes >
• & becomes &
• ' becomes '
• " becomes "

All other characters are unmodified in the output.

EXAMPLES

   % ns_quotehtml "Hello World!"
   Hello World!

   % ns_quotehtml "The  tag is used to indicate strongly emphasized text."
   The <STRONG> tag is used to indicate strongly emphasized text.

% ns_quotehtml { }

   <td id='cell_1_2' class="red">&nbsp;</td>

NOTES

The set of characters that are substituted and their replacements may be different in previous versions of AOLserver. For example, AOLserver 2.x does not escape single or double-quotes.
