Function

Purplemarkup_escape_text

Declaration [src]

gchar*
purple_markup_escape_text (
  const gchar* text,
  gssize length
)

Description [src]

Escapes special characters in a plain-text string so they display correctly as HTML. For example, & is replaced with & and < is replaced with <

This is exactly the same as g_markup_escape_text(), except that it does not change ‘ to ' because ' is not a valid HTML 4 entity, and is displayed literally in IE7.

	The data is owned by the caller of the function.
	The value is a NUL terminated UTF-8 string.
`length`	`gssize`
	The length of the text, or -1 if `NULL` terminated.

Return value

Returns:	`gchar*`
	No description available.
	The caller of the function takes ownership of the data, and is responsible for freeing it.
