Intelligent HTML Coding

Question

I'm looking for a better way to do some kind of smart HTML encoding. For example:

From: <a>Next >></a> to: <a>Next gt;gt;</a>
From: <p><a><b><< Prev</b></a><br/><a>Next >></a></p> to: <p><a><b>&lt;&lt; Prev</b></a><br/><a>Next gt;gt;</a></p>

This way, only part of the non-XML / HTML text will be encoded as if HtmlEncode was being called.

Any suggestions?

EDIT: this should be as easy as possible. Incoming text will come from users who do not know the HTML encoding.

Answer 1

Yes: never write HTML in your source code. Instead, work with the API as a DOM, which takes care of all the encoding issues for you.

Answer 5

I would probably try to write a good regex for this. Are you doing this in code behind (C #) or client side with JavaScript?
