Cleaning/parsing HTML & XML

[Mark Smith]

Here's a function I've used in parsing the content of xml documents:

function xmlEntities pXmlContent
    replace """ with quote in pXmlContent
    replace "'" with "'" in pXmlContent
    replace "<" with "<" in pXmlContent
    replace ">" with ">" in pXmlContent
    replace "&" with "&" in pXmlContent
    return pXmlContent
end xmlEntities

According to wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ 
List_of_XML_and_HTML_character_entity_references)
there are only these 5 to deal with. For html there are 252!

Best,

Mark
