htmLawed - Process text with HTML markup to make it more compliant with HTML standards and administrative policies

HTMLawed is ...

... a single-file, 45 kb PHP script that makes input text more secure, HTML standards-compliant, and suitable in general from the viewpoint of a web-page administrator, for use in the body of HTML, XHTML or XML documents. A simple HTMLTidy alternative, the htmLawed filter, processor, purifier, sanitizer, beautifier, etc., is highly customizable., _(*1)

It ensures that HTML tags are balanced and properly nested tags, neutralizes code that may be used for cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks, limits allowed HTML elements, attributes, or URL protocols, tidies the code, and so forth., _(*2)

As such is may serve as an alternative to HTMLtidy in a sanitation context., _(*3)

This repository is ...

... a derivative, which closely tracks the original, _(*4)
