=head1 NAME
HTML::Entities - Encode or decode strings with HTML entities
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use HTML::Entities;
$a = "Våre norske tegn bør æres";
decode_entities($a);
encode_entities($a, "\200-\377");
For example, this:
$input = "vis-à-vis Beyoncé's naïve\npapier-mâché résumé";
print encode_entities($input), "\n"
Prints this out:
vis-à-vis Beyoncé's naïve
papier-mâché résumé
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This module deals with encoding and decoding of strings with HTML
character entities. The module provides the following functions:
=over 4
=item decode_entities( $string, ... )
This routine replaces HTML entities found in the $string with the
corresponding Unicode character. Unrecognized entities are left alone.
If multiple strings are provided as argument they are each decoded
separately and the same number of strings are returned.
If called in void context the arguments are decoded in-place.
This routine is exported by default.
=item _decode_entities( $string, \%entity2char )
=item _decode_entities( $string, \%entity2char, $expand_prefix )
This will in-place replace HTML entities in $string. The %entity2char
hash must be provided. Named entities not found in the %entity2char
hash are left alone. Numeric entities are expanded unless their value
overflow.
The keys in %entity2char are the entity names to be expanded and their
values are what they should expand into. The values do not have to be
single character strings. If a key has ";" as suffix,
then occurrences in $string are only expanded if properly terminated
with ";". Entities without ";" will be expanded regardless of how
they are terminated for compatibility with how common browsers treat
entities in the Latin-1 range.
If $expand_prefix is TRUE then entities without trailing ";" in
%entity2char will even be expanded as a prefix of a longer
unrecognized name. The longest matching name in %entity2char will be
used. This is mainly present for compatibility with an MSIE
misfeature.
$string = "foo bar";
_decode_entities($string, { nb => "@", nbsp => "\xA0" }, 1);
print $string; # will print "foo bar"
This routine is exported by default.
=item encode_entities( $string )
=item encode_entities( $string, $unsafe_chars )
This routine replaces unsafe characters in $string with their entity
representation. A second argument can be given to specify which characters to
consider unsafe. The unsafe characters is specified using the regular
expression character class syntax (what you find within brackets in regular
expressions).
The default set of characters to encode are control chars, high-bit chars, and
the C<< < >>, C<< & >>, C<< > >>, C<< ' >> and C<< " >> characters. But this,
for example, would encode I<just> the C<< < >>, C<< & >>, C<< > >>, and C<< "
>> characters:
$encoded = encode_entities($input, '<>&"');
and this would only encode non-plain ascii:
$encoded = encode_entities($input, '^\n\x20-\x25\x27-\x7e');
This routine is exported by default.
=item encode_entities_numeric( $string )
=item encode_entities_numeric( $string, $unsafe_chars )
This routine works just like encode_entities, except that the replacement
entities are always C<&#xI<hexnum>;> and never C<&I<entname>;>. For
example, C<encode_entities("r\xF4le")> returns "rôle", but
C<encode_entities_numeric("r\xF4le")> returns "rôle".
This routine is I<not> exported by default. But you can always
export it with C<use HTML::Entities qw(encode_entities_numeric);>
or even C<use HTML::Entities qw(:DEFAULT encode_entities_numeric);>
=back
All these routines modify the string passed as the first argument, if
called in a void context. In scalar and array contexts, the encoded or
decoded string is returned (without changing the input string).
If you prefer not to import these routines into your namespace, you can
call them as:
use HTML::Entities ();
$decoded = HTML::Entities::decode($a);
$encoded = HTML::Entities::encode($a);
$encoded = HTML::Entities::encode_numeric($a);
The module can also export the %char2entity and the %entity2char
hashes, which contain the mapping from all characters to the
corresponding entities (and vice versa, respectively).
