NAME

       ElementTree::simpleEncode - HTML-escape a string

SYNOPSIS

       String simpleEncode( String invalue, Bool leavequotes=false, UnicodeFormat uform=LiteralUTF8 )

ARGUMENTS

       invalue The String to escape

       leavequotes  Whether  to leave quotes unescaped. This is optional and defaults to false (i.e. quotes will
       be escaped)

       uform If this is set to NumericReference (not the default) then non-ASCII characters will be replaced  by
       numeric references.

DESCRIPTION

       HTML-escape  a  string,  so  that <, >, & and possibly " are converted to their entity equivalents (&lt;,
       &gt;, &amp; and &quot; respectively).

       This is automatically done to all element text content and attribute values when  converting  ElementTree
       to String - this function is provided for use in other contexts.
