note 100781 added to function.htmlentities

I wrote a class with methods to convert stray characters to entities as needed while preserving existing entities as well as well formed html tags of your choice. It can pull out JavaScript from the tags you allow (and I may soon enable pulling style attributes also). It can convert all 253 of your named entities to numeric entities and visa versa. It also applies nl2br intelligently. It cleans up whitespace and/or control characters to your liking, and can "hardspace" the whitespace to retain the intended text-based layout format should you choose. It's my answer to the dilemma of "does the person maintaining the content of the website know HTML?" and I tried to balance the need for speed with requirement of XHTML validation. It's become too long to post in these comments, but you can find the free PHP source code here: http://softmoon-webware.com/PHP_functions-instructions.php#toXHTML PEACE ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 74.160.197.130 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.htmlentities.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/100781 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/100781/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/100781/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/100781/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/100781/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/100781/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/100781/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/100781 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/100781 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
