Great Handy Tool for Escaping HTML
November 5th, 2007
For this weblog, I am often obliged to escape HTML, i.e. so that you can read my HTML examples like this one:
<h3>WEB AND SEARCH SERVICES</h3> <ul> <li><a href="http://google.ca">Canadian Google</a>: http://google.ca</li> <li><a href="http://siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com/">Yahoo siteexplorer</a>: http://siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com/</li> <li><a href="http://ipinfo.info/netrenderer/">IE Preview</a>: http://ipinfo.info/netrenderer/</li> <li><a href="http://dan.hersam.com/tools/escape-html.html">Escape HTML brackets</a></li> </ul>
From here it's just a matter of copy and paste.
It's reall pain to do by hand, but Dan Hersam's escape HTML tool makes it a piece of cake. Normally I do it with BBEdit (actually with a plugin called TextSoap, but the function is easily created in BBEdit itself). But this looks simpler and is a lot more portable. Highly recommended. There for all Foliovision staff as well.
