Description
|
|
|
•
|
The Escape(s, form) command escapes special characters in the input string s, according to rules specified by the optional second argument form.
|
|
•
|
The form argument defaults to xml, which specifies that rules appropriate for including the text of the string s in an XML document are to be used.
|
|
•
|
Alternatively, the form argument can be the symbol html. Escaping rules suitable for HTML text are then used.
|
|
•
|
If the form argument is regexp, then the input is taken to be a regular expression, and is escaped in such a way that RegMatch( Escape( rx, 'regexp' ), rx ) returns true, for any regular expression rx.
