RE: [SLUG] Showing HTML in a WWW page

[David Zverina]

If you are doing it in php, there is a function which escapes translates
html for display as html. :) Look in the string functions documentation for
"htmlspecialchars" and "htmlentities".

If you are not using PHP the minimum translation requirement would be
(courtesy of php docs):
'&' (ampersand) becomes '&'
'"' (double quote) becomes '"'
'<' (less than) becomes '&lt;'
'>' (greater than) becomes '&gt;'

I am sure someone is going to provide the perl equivalent functions. And at
least three people will argue how you shouldn't bother with a function and
compete who can supply the shortest substition regex. :)

Cheers,

Dave.
