I have a Groovy script that takes input from a form textarea. I'd like to prevent html (and JS) markup from being submitted and, if HTML is submitted, strip it out. Is there a tool already packaged within XWiki to do this, or should I look to an external package like Jericho? Thanks, Bryn

Hi, If escaping the HTML is good for your usecase (which usually is, instead of stripping), you have multiple options: * apache commons StringEscapeUtils [1] - directly use the static methods * velocity's EscapeTool (XWiki's extended version actually [2]) - instantiate and use * your favourite string escaping library Thanks, Eduard ---------- [1] https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-lang/javadocs/api-3.1/org/apache/… [2] http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/SRD/Navigation?api=escapetool&… On Tue, Jan 13, 2015 at 10:16 PM, Bryn Jeffries <bryn.jeffries(a)sydney.edu.au

Yes, escaping is what I'm after. Looks like StringExcapeUtils is already included in the XWiki install so I'll use that inside my Groovy scripts.

This http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Html+to+plain+text may be useful too. Hope this helps, Marius On Tue, Jan 20, 2015 at 1:32 AM, beldaz <bryn.jeffries(a)sydney.edu.au> wrote:
