This module implements a subclass of Badger::Codec for encoding and decoding HTML. It is based on code extracted from Lincoln Stein's CGI.pm module.
The encode() method encodes HTML by converting any reserved characters to the correct HTML entities.
The decode() method reverses this process.
Encodes the HTML text passed as the first argument.
$encoded = Badger::Codec::HTML->encode($html);
The optional second argument can be used to indicate the character set in
use. If this is set to ISO-8859-1 WINDOWS-1252
then the encoded data will undergo some additional processing in order to
work around some known bugs in Microsoft's web browsers. See fix_windows().
Decodes the encoded HTML text passed as the first argument.
$html = Badger::Codec::HTML->decode($encoded);
