Description

This operator translates the input string into an HTML friendly version. It will take care of converting bogus characters to HTML-friendly replacements. The "type" parameter can be used to specify the washing type, it can be set to either "xhtml" or "email" (the default is "xhtml"). E-mail washing can be controlled using the setting of the [WashSettings] configuration block of "template.ini". All strings that may break the HTML should always be washed using this operator.

Examples

{'Bogus & stuff <'|wash()}
