cgi:tohtml

Httpd/CGI Core4 Lua Event System

SYNOPSIS

  1. result = cgi:tohtml(text)
  2. result = http.tohtml(text)

DESCRIPTION

Converts the string text into a safe html representation. This means that the characters <, > and & are converted into their HTML representations &lt;, &gt; and &amp; respectively.

Both forms function identical. The first form looks cleaner inside a script, the second form works without needing a live request.
