Issue #17992 has been updated by AMomchilov (Alexander Momchilov). I don't know anything about anything, but having a basic-but-fast operation that only does the bare minimum for security, makes sense to me. I just want to push for a more complete alternative to exist in some form or another. ---------------------------------------- Feature #17992: Upstreaming the htmlentities gem into CGI#.(un)escape_html https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/17992#change-92570 * Author: AMomchilov (Alexander Momchilov) * Status: Feedback * Priority: Normal ---------------------------------------- Hi there, I was looking to unescape some HTML entities in a String, and I discovered that `CGI#.(un)escape_html` is **really** limited. Many StackOverflow questions share a similar disappointment, and point users to using the [htmlentities gem](https://github.com/threedaymonk/htmlentities): 1. https://stackoverflow.com/a/383561/3141234 2. https://stackoverflow.com/a/22926384/3141234 This solved my problem, but I feel like something this standard/universal should be built-in. To that end, I'm interested in working on merging the htmlentities gem into CGI's repo. Would this be a welcome change? * I've e-mailed the author (Paul Battley) privately, and got his blessing to do so. * It's MIT licensed, so that should be OK. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe: <mailto:ruby-core-request@ruby-lang.org?subject=unsubscribe> <http://lists.ruby-lang.org/cgi-bin/mailman/options/ruby-core>
