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 &lt;
• > becomes &gt;
• & becomes &amp;
• ' becomes &#39;
• " becomes &#34;

All other characters are unmodified in the output.

EXAMPLES

   % ns_quotehtml "Hello World!"
   Hello World!

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

   % ns_quotehtml {<span class="foo">}
   &lt;span class=&#34;foo&#34;&gt;

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.
