HTML entity encoding and decoding for Ruby

HTMLEntities is a simple library to facilitate encoding and decoding of named
(ý and so on) or numerical ({ or Ī) entities in HTML
and XHTML documents.

Usage

Decoding

require 'htmlentities'
coder = HTMLEntities.new
string = "&eacute;lan"
coder.decode(string) # => "élan"

Encoding

This is slightly more complicated, due to the various options. The encode
method takes a variable number of parameters, which tell it which instructions
to carry out.

require 'htmlentities'
coder = HTMLEntities.new
string = "<élan>"

Escape unsafe codepoints only:

coder.encode(string) # => "&lt;élan&gt;"

Or:

coder.encode(string, :basic) # => "&lt;élan&gt;"

Escape all entities that have names:

coder.encode(string, :named) # => "&lt;&eacute;lan&gt;"

Escape all non-ASCII/non-safe codepoints using decimal entities:

coder.encode(string, :decimal) # => "&#60;&#233;lan&#62;"

As above, using hexadecimal entities:

coder.encode(string, :hexadecimal) # => "&#x3c;&#xe9;lan&#x3e;"

You can also use several options, e.g. use named entities for unsafe codepoints, then decimal for all other non-ASCII:

coder.encode(string, :basic, :decimal) # => "&lt;&#233;lan&gt;"

Flavours

HTMLEntities knows about three different sets of entities:

:xhtml1 – Entities from the XHTML1 doctype
:html4 – Entities from the HTML4 doctype. Differs from +xhtml1+ only by the absence of +&apos+
:expanded – Entities from a variety of SGML sets

The default is :xhtml, but you can override this:

coder = HTMLEntities.new(:expanded)

Licence

This code is free to use under the terms of the MIT licence. See the file
