Bug #23724 for BBCode-Parser: Escaping

Thu Nov 30 11:15:27 2006 andrey [...] kostenko.name - Ticket created

Subject:

Escaping

BBCode::Parser now by default escapes all non-ASCII characters. But if I use non-english language, all my text translated into the shit. By the XML standard escaped must be only <, > , &, "... etc

Well, that's because it's outputting HTML, not XML... Nevertheless, I've tweaked the HTML escaping function to do only the bare minimum, instead of using HTML::Entities and escaping everything outside the ASCII range. (I had it that way for the sake of lousy programmers who forgot to set their filehandles to UTF-8 mode, not to upset anyone using a non-Latin alphabet.) The new 0.34 release should fix the problem, which I've just pushed to CPAN. It only escapes 5 characters: & < > " ' (the last one numerically, since HTML doesn't support '). All other characters are passed through as-is. -- Chronos Tachyon http://chronos-tachyon.net/ -- WWED?
