Hi everyone,

Sorry if this is a really n00b question, but what do you use to parse input for html tags? Is there anything built in? I'm using WO 5.3.3 and Wonder.

Thanks!

What is it you want to do?

Chuck

Well, I have a WOText for user input that will be displayed once it is saved... think: typical weblog.

Ideally, I'd like to allow a handful of html elements so that my users can have line breaks, paragraphs, and not just a solid block of text. At the same time, I'd also like to allow class attributes so that certain elements can be styled for different uses... like a shell code div, or a paragraph with a drop cap at the beginning. Naturally, I want to strip out mismatched tags so they can't escape their own little area on the page, strip out scripts, and pretty much anything else that could be easily abused. Basically, whitelist a few things and strip out everything else :-)

You might want to look into using a Textile engine. Quite simple to use.

with regards,
