Hmm, Ill have a bash at it. Its better than no protection at all, and its easy enough to do.
A function that resolves entities isnt hard to write though, heres one: rentity = re.compile(r"&(\w+);") rhashentity = re.compile(r"&#(\d+);") from htmlentitydefs import entitydefs #escapes entities of the form 'ϧ' and '&aaa;' into ascii strings def unentity(s): s = rentity.sub(lambda m: entitydefs.get(m.group(1), m.group()), s) s = rhashentity.sub(lambda m: chr(int(m.group(1))), s) It's a shame you cant define your own entities in html. > -----Original Message----- > From: Barry A.
