HtmlTransformer 1.0
Detailed Information
HtmlTransformer is a .Net class library that you can call from any .Net language.
This class library allows you to transform text input into safe HTML display
content. HtmlTransformer supports high level modes as well as granular members
for determining what types of transforms you can apply. In addition, HtmlTransformer
supports the conversion of text formatting like BB (e.g. [b]...[/b]) and
SimpleFormat (e.g. *...*, /.../).
HtmlTransformer was built to whitelist tags vs. blacklist. A "white" list is
a list of inclusions, while a "black" list is a list of exclusions. Blacklist
software is much easier to write because the number of offending tags can be
small. However, the problem with blacklist software is that it's not future
proof. If a new tag is added in the future, a blacklist piece of software
will allow it through. By contrast, a whitelist solution only passes through
the tags it knows about. This results in much safer output.
HtmlTransformer Support for BB Tags: phpBB has become a reasonable de-facto
standard for communities along the web. With its success users have become
accustomed to using BB tags for formatting text within input boxes. Examples
of BB tags include: [b], [i], [u], [url] and [img]. HtmlTransformer allows
you to easily support BB tags in your input by applying a single line of
code. At the same time, HtmlTransformer ensures that the resulting Html
is safe for display by disallowing script URLs and a slew of other security
issues. For details on the BB tags supported, please review the help file.
In addition to BB tags, we've added support for SimpleFormat tags. These are
often much easier for users to adopt and result in very friendly output.
SimpleFormat tags include: *...* for bold, /.../ for italics, _..._ for underline,
and -...- for strikethru. For details on the SimpleFormat tags supported,
please review the help file.
