How to translate non-HTML characters into their HTML equivalent.
GOAL:
How to use html-encoding function to convert ASCII characters into HTML representation?
GOAL:
How to html-encode ASCII characters?
FIX:
The HTML-encoding function converts various ASCII characters in a string to their HTML representation. It returns the HTML-encoded string. This function is useful for constructing HTML output from SpeedScript program data.
HTML does not handle ASCII characters in the same way a text editor does. HTML requires an 'interpretation' of the ASCII characters, and consequently a translation of ASCII characters to HTML encoded 'characters'.
To avoid corrupting the encoding, do not execute the 'html-encoding' command more than once for a given string. The following lists special characters that are handled in this way and their equivalent HTML Encoding values:
