Bug #21761 for DBIx-XHTML_Table: Special XML characters should be expressed as entities

Thu Sep 28 10:18:47 2006 SREZIC [...] cpan.org - Ticket created

Subject:

Special XML characters should be expressed as entities

If some database cells contain some special XML characters like "<", then the resulting XHTML could be invalid. It would be nice if DBIx::XHTML_Table would make entities of these special characters *by default*. For now, one can use something like $table->map_cell(sub { html(shift) }) to do it manually, where html() is some escaping function. For some obscure applications where database cells already contain valid XHTML snippets there could be an option to not do auto-escaping. Regards, Slaven

Note that starting with v1.45 you will have to request HTML encoding explicitly: $table->{encode_cells} = 1; I had forgotten that HTML encoding was unfavorable because i like to put HTML text boxes inside the table cells. This bug fix broke that feature, so hopefully v1.45 will provide a good compromise. On Thu Sep 28 10:18:47 2006, SREZIC wrote: Show quoted text
