Please note that the function supplied by daneel at neezine dot net is not a good way of avoiding
XSS attacks. A string like
<font size=">>" <script>alert("foo")</script>
face="tahoma" color="#DD0000">salut</font>
will be sanitized to
<font>>" <script>alert("foo")</script> face="tahoma"
color="#DD0000">salut</font>
which is a pretty good XSS.
