+ * Reflected XSS attack was possible against 1.8 systems.
+ * The cryptographic key used for various purposes may have been generated with weak entropy, particularly on Windows.
+
+ Bugfixes:
+ * URLs with non-ASCII usernames again work
+ * Floated images are now properly cleared in content areas
+ * The activity page title now matches the document title
+ * Search again supports multiple comments on the same entity
+ * Blog archive sidebar now reverse chronological
+ * URLs with matching parens can now be auto-linked
+ * Log browser links for users now work
+ * Disabling over 50 objects should no longer result in an infinite loop
+ * Radio/checkbox inputs no longer have border radius (for IE10)
+ * User picker: the Only Friends checkbox again works
+ * Group bookmarklet no longer shown to non-members
+ * Widget reordering fixed when moving across columns
+ * Refuse to deactivate plugins needed as dependencies
+
+ Enhancements:
+ * Group member listings are ordered by name
+ * The system_log table can now store IPv6 addresses
+ * Web services auth_gettoken() now accepts email address
+ * List functions: no need to specify pagination for unlimited queries
+ * Htmlawed was upgraded to 1.1.16

-</h2><span class="totop"><a href="#peak">(to top)</a></span><br style="clear: both;" />
-<br />
-&#160; htmLawed is a highly customizable single-file PHP script to make text secure, and standard- and admin policy-compliant for use in the body of HTML 4, XHTML 1 or 1.1, or generic XML documents. It is thus a configurable input (X)HTML filter, processor, purifier, sanitizer, beautifier, etc., and an alternative to the <a href="http://tidy.sourceforge.net">HTMLTidy</a>&#160;application.<br />
-<br />
-&#160; The <em>lawing in</em>&#160;of input text is needed to ensure that HTML code in the text is standard-compliant, does not introduce security vulnerabilities, and does not break the aesthetics, design or layout of web-pages. htmLawed tries to do this by, for example, making HTML well-formed with balanced and properly nested tags, neutralizing code that may be used for cross-site scripting (<span class="term">XSS</span>) attacks, and allowing only specified HTML elements/tags and attributes.<br />

-&#160; * &#160;Filtering of text submitted as comments on blogs to allow only certain HTML elements<br />
-<br />
-&#160; * &#160;Making RSS/Atom newsfeed item-content standard-compliant: often one uses an excerpt from an HTML document for the content, and with unbalanced tags, non-numerical entities, etc., such excerpts may not be XML-compliant<br />
-<br />
-&#160; * &#160;Text processing for stricter XML standard-compliance: e.g., to have lowercased <span class="term">x</span>&#160;in hexadecimal numeric entities becomes necessary if an XHTML document with MathML content needs to be served as <span class="term">application/xml</span><br />

-<br />
-&#160; htmLawed was developed for use with <span class="term">LabWiki</span>, a wiki software developed at PHP Labware, as a suitable software could not be found. Existing PHP software like <span class="term">Kses</span>&#160;and <span class="term">HTMLPurifier</span>&#160;were deemed inadequate, slow, resource-intensive, or dependent on external applications like <span class="term">HTML Tidy</span>.<br />
-<br />
-&#160; htmLawed started as a modification of Ulf Harnhammar's <span class="term">Kses</span>&#160;(version 0.2.2) software, and is compatible with code that uses <span class="term">Kses</span>; see <a href="#s2.6">section 2.6</a>.<br />

-</h2><span class="totop"><a href="#peak">(to top)</a></span><br style="clear: both;" />
-<br />
-&#160; htmLawed should work with PHP 4.4 and higher. Either <span class="term">include()</span>&#160;the <span class="term">htmLawed.php</span>&#160;file or copy-paste the entire code.<br />
-<br />
-&#160; To easily <strong>test</strong>&#160;htmLawed using a form-based interface, use the provided <a href="htmLawedTest.php">demo</a>&#160;(<span class="term">htmLawed.php</span>&#160;and <span class="term">htmLawedTest.php</span>&#160;should be in the same directory on the web-server).<br />
-<br />
-&#160; <strong>Note</strong>: For code for usage of the htmLawed class (for htmLawed in OOP), please refer to the <a href="http://www.bioinformatics.org/phplabware/internal_utilities/htmLawed">htmLawed</a>&#160;website; the filtering itself can be configured, etc., as described here.<br />
-
-<div class="sub-section"><h3>

-</h3><span class="totop"><a href="#peak">(to top)</a></span><br style="clear: both;" />
-<br />
-&#160; The input text to be processed, <span class="term">$text</span>, is passed as an argument of type string; <span class="term">htmLawed()</span>&#160;returns the processed string:<br />
-<br />
-
-<code class="code">&#160; &#160; $processed = htmLawed($text);</code>
-<br />
-<br />
-&#160; <strong>Note</strong>: If input is from a <span class="term">$_GET</span>&#160;or <span class="term">$_POST</span>&#160;value, and <span class="term">magic quotes</span>&#160;are enabled on the PHP setup, run <span class="term">stripslashes()</span>&#160;on the input before passing to htmLawed.<br />
-<br />
-&#160; By default, htmLawed will process the text allowing all valid HTML elements/tags, secure URL scheme/CSS style properties, etc. It will allow <span class="term">CDATA</span>&#160;sections and HTML comments, balance tags, and ensure proper nesting of elements. Such actions can be configured using two other optional arguments -- <span class="term">$config</span>&#160;and <span class="term">$spec</span>:<br />
-<br />
-
-<code class="code">&#160; &#160; $processed = htmLawed($text, $config, $spec);</code>
-<br />
-<br />
-&#160; These extra parameters are detailed below. Some examples are shown in <a href="#s2.9">section 2.9</a>.<br />
-<br />
-&#160; <strong>Note</strong>: For maximum protection against <span class="term">XSS</span>&#160;and other scripting attacks (e.g., by disallowing Javascript code), consider using the <span class="term">safe</span>&#160;parameter; see <a href="#s3.6">section 3.6</a>.<br />

-</h3><span class="totop"><a href="#peak">(to top)</a></span><br style="clear: both;" />
-<br />
-&#160; <span class="term">$config</span>&#160;instructs htmLawed on how to tackle certain tasks. When <span class="term">$config</span>&#160;is not specified, or not set as an array (e.g., <span class="term">$config = 1</span>), htmLawed will take default actions. One or many of the task-action or value-specification pairs can be specified in <span class="term">$config</span>&#160;as array key-value pairs. If a parameter is not specified, htmLawed will use the default value/action indicated further below.<br />
-<br />
-
-<code class="code">&#160; &#160; $config = array(&#39;comment&#39;=&gt;0, &#39;cdata&#39;=&gt;1);</code>

-&#160; Below are the possible value-specification combinations. In PHP code, values that are integers should not be quoted and should be used as numeric types (unless meant as string/text).<br />
-<br />
-&#160; Key: <span class="term">&#42;</span>&#160;default, <span class="term">^</span>&#160;different default when htmLawed is used in the Kses-compatible mode (see <a href="#s2.6">section 2.6</a>), <span class="term">~</span>&#160;different default when <span class="term">valid_xhtml</span>&#160;is set to <span class="term">1</span>&#160;(see <a href="#s3.5">section 3.5</a>), <span class="term">"</span>&#160;different default when <span class="term">safe</span>&#160;is set to <span class="term">1</span>&#160;(see <a href="#s3.6">section 3.6</a>)<br />

-</h3><span class="totop"><a href="#peak">(to top)</a></span><br style="clear: both;" />
-<br />
-&#160; The <span class="term">$spec</span>&#160;argument can be used to disallow an otherwise legal attribute for an element, or to restrict the attribute's values. This can also be helpful as a security measure (e.g., in certain versions of browsers, certain values can cause buffer overflows and denial of service attacks), or in enforcing admin policy compliance. <span class="term">$spec</span>&#160;is specified as a string of text containing one or more <em>rules</em>, with multiple rules separated from each other by a semi-colon (<span class="term">;</span>). E.g.,<br />
-<br />
-
-<code class="code">&#160; &#160; $spec = &#39;i=-&#42;; td, tr=style, id, -&#42;; a=id(match="/[a-z][a-z\d.&#58;\-&#96;"]&#42;/i"/minval=2), href(maxlen=100/minlen=34); img=-width,-alt&#39;;</code>
-<br />
-
-<code class="code">&#160; &#160; $processed = htmLawed($text, $config, $spec);</code>
-<br />
-<br />
-&#160; Or,<br />
-<br />
-
-<code class="code">&#160; &#160; $processed = htmLawed($text, $config, &#39;i=-&#42;; td, tr=style, id, -&#42;; a=id(match="/[a-z][a-z\d.&#58;\-&#96;"]&#42;/i"/minval=2), href(maxlen=100/minlen=34); img=-width,-alt&#39;);</code>
-<br />
-<br />
-&#160; A rule begins with an HTML <strong>element</strong>&#160;name(s) (<em>rule-element</em>), for which the rule applies, followed by an equal (<span class="term">=</span>) sign. A rule-element may represent multiple elements if comma (,)-separated element names are used. E.g., <span class="term">th,td,tr=</span>.<br />
-<br />
-&#160; Rest of the rule consists of comma-separated HTML <strong>attribute names</strong>. A minus (<span class="term">-</span>) character before an attribute means that the attribute is not permitted inside the rule-element. E.g., <span class="term">-width</span>. To deny all attributes, <span class="term">-&#42;</span>&#160;can be used.<br />
-<br />
-&#160; Following shows examples of rule excerpts with rule-element <span class="term">a</span>&#160;and the attributes that are being permitted:<br />
-<br />
-&#160; * &#160;<span class="term">a=</span>&#160;- all<br />
-&#160; * &#160;<span class="term">a=id</span>&#160;- all<br />
-&#160; * &#160;<span class="term">a=href, title, -id, -onclick</span>&#160;- all except <span class="term">id</span>&#160;and <span class="term">onclick</span><br />
-&#160; * &#160;<span class="term">a=&#42;, id, -id</span>&#160;- all except <span class="term">id</span><br />
-&#160; * &#160;<span class="term">a=-&#42;</span>&#160;- none<br />
-&#160; * &#160;<span class="term">a=-&#42;, href, title</span>&#160;- none except <span class="term">href</span>&#160;and <span class="term">title</span><br />
-&#160; * &#160;<span class="term">a=-&#42;, -id, href, title</span>&#160;- none except <span class="term">href</span>&#160;and <span class="term">title</span><br />
-<br />
-&#160; Rules regarding <strong>attribute values</strong>&#160;are optionally specified inside round brackets after attribute names in slash ('/')-separated <em>parameter = value</em>&#160;pairs. E.g., <span class="term">title(maxlen=30/minlen=5)</span>. None, or one or more of the following parameters may be specified:<br />
-<br />
-&#160; * &#160;<span class="term">oneof</span>&#160;- one or more choices separated by <span class="term">|</span>&#160;that the value should match; if only one choice is provided, then the value must match that choice<br />
-<br />
-&#160; * &#160;<span class="term">noneof</span>&#160;- one or more choices separated by <span class="term">|</span>&#160;that the value should not match<br />
-<br />
-&#160; * &#160;<span class="term">maxlen</span>&#160;and <span class="term">minlen</span>&#160;- upper and lower limits for the number of characters in the attribute value; specified in numbers<br />
-<br />
-&#160; * &#160;<span class="term">maxval</span>&#160;and <span class="term">minval</span>&#160;- upper and lower limits for the numerical value specified in the attribute value; specified in numbers<br />
-<br />
-&#160; * &#160;<span class="term">match</span>&#160;and <span class="term">nomatch</span>&#160;- pattern that the attribute value should or should not match; specified as PHP/PCRE-compatible regular expressions with delimiters and possibly modifiers<br />
-<br />
-&#160; * &#160;<span class="term">default</span>&#160;- a value to force on the attribute if the value provided by the writer does not fit any of the specified parameters<br />
-<br />
-&#160; If <span class="term">default</span>&#160;is not set and the attribute value does not satisfy any of the specified parameters, then the attribute is removed. The <span class="term">default</span>&#160;value can also be used to force all attribute declarations to take the same value (by getting the values declared illegal by setting, e.g., <span class="term">maxlen</span>&#160;to <span class="term">-1</span>).<br />
-<br />
-&#160; Examples with <em>input</em>&#160;<span class="term">&lt;input title="WIDTH" value="10em" /&gt;&lt;input title="length" value="5" /&gt;</span>&#160;are shown below.<br />
-<br />
-&#160; <em>Rule</em>: <span class="term">input=title(maxlen=60/minlen=6), value</span><br />
-&#160; <em>Output</em>: <span class="term">&lt;input value="10em" /&gt;&lt;input title="length" value="5" /&gt;</span><br />
-<br />
-&#160; <em>Rule</em>: <span class="term">input=title(), value(maxval=8/default=6)</span><br />
-&#160; <em>Output</em>: <span class="term">&lt;input title="WIDTH" value="6" /&gt;&lt;input title="length" value="5" /&gt;</span><br />
-<br />
-&#160; <em>Rule</em>: <span class="term">input=title(nomatch=%w.d%i), value(match=%em%/default=6em)</span><br />
-&#160; <em>Output</em>: <span class="term">&lt;input value="10em" /&gt;&lt;input title="length" value="6em" /&gt;</span><br />
-<br />
-&#160; <em>Rule</em>: <span class="term">input=title(oneof=height|depth/default=depth), value(noneof=5|6)</span><br />
-&#160; <em>Output</em>: <span class="term">&lt;input title="depth" value="10em" /&gt;&lt;input title="depth" /&gt;</span><br />
-<br />
-&#160; <strong>Special characters</strong>: The characters <span class="term">;</span>, <span class="term">,</span>, <span class="term">/</span>, <span class="term">(</span>, <span class="term">)</span>, <span class="term">|</span>, <span class="term">~</span>&#160;and space have special meanings in the rules. Words in the rules that use such characters, or the characters themselves, should be <em>escaped</em>&#160;by enclosing in pairs of double-quotes (<span class="term">"</span>). A back-tick (<span class="term">&#96;</span>) can be used to escape a literal <span class="term">"</span>. An example rule illustrating this is <span class="term">input=value(maxlen=30/match="/^\w/"/default="your &#96;"ID&#96;"")</span>.<br />
-<br />
-&#160; <strong>Note</strong>: To deny an attribute for all elements for which it is legal, <span class="term">$config["deny_attribute"]</span>&#160;(see <a href="#s3.4">section 3.4</a>) can be used instead of <span class="term">$spec</span>. Also, attributes can be allowed element-specifically through <span class="term">$spec</span>&#160;while being denied globally through <span class="term">$config["deny_attribute"]</span>. The <span class="term">hook_tag</span>&#160;parameter (<a href="#s3.4.9">section 3.4.9</a>) can also be used to implement the <span class="term">$spec</span>&#160;functionality.<br />

-<br />
-&#160; The time and memory used by htmLawed depends on its configuration and the size of the input, and the amount, nestedness and well-formedness of the HTML markup within it. In particular, tag balancing and beautification each can increase the processing time by about a quarter.<br />

-</h3><span class="totop"><a href="#peak">(to top)</a></span><br style="clear: both;" />
-<br />
-&#160; When setting the parameters/arguments (like those to allow certain HTML elements) for use with htmLawed, one should bear in mind that the setting may let through potentially <em>dangerous</em>&#160;HTML code which is meant to steal user-data, deface a website, render a page non-functional, etc.<br />
-<br />
-&#160; Unless end-users, either people or software, supplying the content are completely trusted, security issues arising from the degree of HTML usage permission has to be kept in mind. For example, following increase security risks:<br />
-<br />
-&#160; * &#160;Allowing <span class="term">script</span>, <span class="term">applet</span>, <span class="term">embed</span>, <span class="term">iframe</span>&#160;or <span class="term">object</span>&#160;elements, or certain of their attributes like <span class="term">allowscriptaccess</span><br />
-<br />
-&#160; * &#160;Allowing HTML comments (some Internet Explorer versions are vulnerable with, e.g., <span class="term">&lt;!--[if gte IE 4]&gt;&lt;script&gt;alert("xss");&lt;/script&gt;&lt;![endif]--&gt;</span><br />
-<br />
-&#160; * &#160;Allowing dynamic CSS expressions (a feature of the IE browser)<br />
-<br />
-&#160; * &#160;Allowing the <span class="term">style</span>&#160;attribute<br />
-<br />
-&#160; To remove <em>unsecure</em>&#160;HTML, code-developers using htmLawed must set <span class="term">$config</span>&#160;appropriately. E.g., <span class="term">$config["elements"] = "&#42; -script"</span>&#160;to deny the <span class="term">script</span>&#160;element (<a href="#s3.3">section 3.3</a>), <span class="term">$config["safe"] = 1</span>&#160;to auto-configure ceratin htmLawed parameters for maximizing security (<a href="#s3.6">section 3.6</a>), etc.<br />
-<br />
-&#160; Permitting the <span class="term">&#42;style&#42;</span>&#160;attribute brings in risks of <em>click-jacking</em>, <em>phishing</em>, web-page overlays, etc., <em>even</em>&#160;when the <span class="term">safe</span>&#160;parameter is enabled (see <a href="#s3.6">section 3.6</a>). Except for URLs and a few other things like CSS dynamic expressions, htmLawed currently does not check every CSS style property. It does provide ways for the code-developer implementing htmLawed to do such checks through htmLawed's <span class="term">$spec</span>&#160;argument, and through the <span class="term">hook_tag</span>&#160;parameter (see <a href="#s3.4.8">section 3.4.8</a>&#160;for more). Disallowing <span class="term">style</span>&#160;completely and relying on CSS classes and stylesheet files is recommended.<br />
-<br />
-&#160; htmLawed does not check or correct the character <strong>encoding</strong>&#160;of the input it receives. In conjunction with permitting circumstances such as when the character encoding is left undefined through HTTP headers or HTML <span class="term">meta</span>&#160;tags, this can permit an exploit (like Google's UTF-7/XSS vulnerability of the past).<br />

-<a name="s2.6" id="s2.6"></a><span class="item-no">2.6</span>&#160; Use without modifying old <span class="term">kses()</span>&#160;code
-</h3><span class="totop"><a href="#peak">(to top)</a></span><br style="clear: both;" />
-<br />
-&#160; The <span class="term">Kses</span>&#160;PHP script is used by many applications (like <span class="term">WordPress</span>). It is possible to have such applications use htmLawed instead, since it is compatible with code that calls the <span class="term">kses()</span>&#160;function declared in the <span class="term">Kses</span>&#160;file (usually named <span class="term">kses.php</span>). E.g., application code like this will continue to work after replacing <span class="term">Kses</span>&#160;with htmLawed:<br />
-<br />
-
-<code class="code">&#160; &#160; $comment_filtered = kses($comment_input, array(&#39;a&#39;=&gt;array(), &#39;b&#39;=&gt;array(), &#39;i&#39;=&gt;array()));</code>
-<br />
-<br />
-&#160; For some of the <span class="term">$config</span>&#160;parameters, htmLawed will use values other than the default ones. These are indicated by <span class="term">^</span>&#160;in <a href="#s2.2">section 2.2</a>. To force htmLawed to use other values, function <span class="term">kses()</span>&#160;in the htmLawed code should be edited -- a few configurable parameters/variables need to be changed.<br />
-<br />
-&#160; If the application uses a <span class="term">Kses</span>&#160;file that has the <span class="term">kses()</span>&#160;function declared, then, to have the application use htmLawed instead of <span class="term">Kses</span>, simply rename <span class="term">htmLawed.php</span>&#160;(to <span class="term">kses.php</span>, e.g.) and replace the <span class="term">Kses</span>&#160;file (or just replace the code in the <span class="term">Kses</span>&#160;file with the htmLawed code). If the <span class="term">kses()</span>&#160;function in the <span class="term">Kses</span>&#160;file had been renamed by the application developer (e.g., in <span class="term">WordPress</span>, it is named <span class="term">wp_kses()</span>), then appropriately rename the <span class="term">kses()</span>&#160;function in the htmLawed code.<br />
-<br />
-&#160; If the <span class="term">Kses</span>&#160;file used by the application has been highly altered by the application developers, then one may need a different approach. E.g., with <span class="term">WordPress</span>, it is best to copy the htmLawed code to <span class="term">wp_includes/kses.php</span>, rename the newly added function <span class="term">kses()</span>&#160;to <span class="term">wp_kses()</span>, and delete the code for the original <span class="term">wp_kses()</span>&#160;function.<br />
-<br />
-&#160; If the <span class="term">Kses</span>&#160;code has a non-empty hook function (e.g., <span class="term">wp_kses_hook()</span>&#160;in case of <span class="term">WordPress</span>), then the code for htmLawed's <span class="term">kses_hook()</span>&#160;function should be appropriately edited. However, the requirement of the hook function should be re-evaluated considering that htmLawed has extra capabilities. With <span class="term">WordPress</span>, the hook function is an essential one. The following code is suggested for the htmLawed <span class="term">kses_hook()</span>&#160;in case of <span class="term">WordPress</span>:<br />
-<br />
-
-<code class="code">&#160; &#160; function kses_hook($string, &amp;$cf, &amp;$spec){</code>

-</h3><span class="totop"><a href="#peak">(to top)</a></span><br style="clear: both;" />
-<br />
-&#160; htmLawed can work with ill-written HTML code in the input. However, HTML that is too ill-written may not be <em>read</em>&#160;as HTML, and be considered mere plain text instead. Following statements indicate the degree of <em>looseness</em>&#160;that htmLawed can work with, and can be provided in instructions to writers:<br />
-<br />
-&#160; * &#160;Tags must be flanked by <span class="term">&lt;</span>&#160;and <span class="term">&gt;</span>&#160;with no <span class="term">&gt;</span>&#160;inside -- any needed <span class="term">&gt;</span>&#160;should be put in as <span class="term">&amp;gt;</span>. It is possible for tag content (element name and attributes) to be spread over many lines instead of being on one. A space may be present between the tag content and <span class="term">&gt;</span>, like <span class="term">&lt;div &gt;</span>&#160;and <span class="term">&lt;img / &gt;</span>, but not after the <span class="term">&lt;</span>.<br />
-<br />
-&#160; * &#160;Element and attribute names need not be lower-cased.<br />
-<br />
-&#160; * &#160;Attribute string of elements may be liberally spaced with tabs, line-breaks, etc.<br />
-<br />
-&#160; * &#160;Attribute values may not be double-quoted, or may be single-quoted.<br />
-<br />
-&#160; * &#160;Left-padding of numeric entities (like, <span class="term">&amp;#0160;</span>, <span class="term">&amp;x07ff;</span>) with <span class="term">0</span>&#160;is okay as long as the number of characters between between the <span class="term">&amp;</span>&#160;and the <span class="term">;</span>&#160;does not exceed 8. All entities must end with <span class="term">;</span>&#160;though.<br />
-<br />
-&#160; * &#160;Named character entities must be properly cased. E.g., <span class="term">&amp;Lt;</span>&#160;or <span class="term">&amp;TILDE;</span>&#160;will not be let through without modification.<br />
-<br />
-&#160; * &#160;HTML comments should not be inside element tags (okay between tags), and should begin with <span class="term">&lt;!--</span>&#160;and end with <span class="term">--&gt;</span>. Characters like <span class="term">&lt;</span>, <span class="term">&gt;</span>, and <span class="term">&amp;</span>&#160;may be allowed inside depending on <span class="term">$config</span>, but any <span class="term">--&gt;</span>&#160;inside should be put in as <span class="term">--&amp;gt;</span>. Any <span class="term">--</span>&#160;inside will be automatically converted to <span class="term">-</span>, and a space will be added before the comment delimiter <span class="term">--&gt;</span>.<br />
-<br />
-&#160; * &#160;<span class="term">CDATA</span>&#160;sections should not be inside element tags, and can be in element content only if plain text is allowed for that element. They should begin with <span class="term">&lt;[CDATA[</span>&#160;and end with <span class="term">]]&gt;</span>. Characters like <span class="term">&lt;</span>, <span class="term">&gt;</span>, and <span class="term">&amp;</span>&#160;may be allowed inside depending on <span class="term">$config</span>, but any <span class="term">]]&gt;</span>&#160;inside should be put in as <span class="term">]]&amp;gt;</span>.<br />
-<br />
-&#160; * &#160;For attribute values, character entities <span class="term">&amp;lt;</span>, <span class="term">&amp;gt;</span>&#160;and <span class="term">&amp;amp;</span>&#160;should be used instead of characters <span class="term">&lt;</span>&#160;and <span class="term">&gt;</span>, and <span class="term">&amp;</span>&#160;(when <span class="term">&amp;</span>&#160;is not part of a character entity). This applies even for Javascript code in values of attributes like <span class="term">onclick</span>.<br />
-<br />
-&#160; * &#160;Characters <span class="term">&lt;</span>, <span class="term">&gt;</span>, <span class="term">&amp;</span>&#160;and <span class="term">"</span>&#160;that are part of actual Javascript, etc., code in <span class="term">script</span>&#160;elements should be used as such and not be put in as entities like <span class="term">&amp;gt;</span>. Otherwise, though the HTML will be valid, the code may fail to work. Further, if such characters have to be used, then they should be put inside <span class="term">CDATA</span>&#160;sections.<br />
-<br />
-&#160; * &#160;Simple instructions like "an opening tag cannot be present between two closing tags" and "nested elements should be closed in the reverse order of how they were opened" can help authors write balanced HTML. If tags are imbalanced, htmLawed will try to balance them, but in the process, depending on <span class="term">$config["keep_bad"]</span>, some code/text may be lost.<br />
-<br />
-&#160; * &#160;Input authors should be notified of admin-specified allowed elements, attributes, configuration values (like conversion of named entities to numeric ones), etc.<br />
-<br />
-&#160; * &#160;With <span class="term">$config["unique_ids"]</span>&#160;not <span class="term">0</span>&#160;and the <span class="term">id</span>&#160;attribute being permitted, writers should carefully avoid using duplicate or invalid <span class="term">id</span>&#160;values as even though htmLawed will correct/remove the values, the final output may not be the one desired. E.g., when <span class="term">&lt;a id="home"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;input id="home" /&gt;&lt;label for="home"&gt;&lt;/label&gt;</span>&#160;is processed into<br />
-<span class="term">&lt;a id="home"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;input id="prefix_home" /&gt;&lt;label for="home"&gt;&lt;/label&gt;</span>.<br />
-<br />
-&#160; * &#160;Note that even if intended HTML is lost in a highly ill-written input, the processed output will be more secure and standard-compliant.<br />
-<br />
-&#160; * &#160;For URLs, unless <span class="term">$config["scheme"]</span>&#160;is appropriately set, writers should avoid using escape characters or entities in schemes. E.g., <span class="term">htt&amp;#112;</span>&#160;(which many browsers will read as the harmless <span class="term">http</span>) may be considered bad by htmLawed.<br />
-<br />
-&#160; * &#160;htmLawed will attempt to put plain text present directly inside <span class="term">blockquote</span>, <span class="term">form</span>, <span class="term">map</span>&#160;and <span class="term">noscript</span>&#160;elements (illegal as per the specs) inside auto-generated <span class="term">div</span>&#160;elements.<br />

-<a name="s2.8" id="s2.8"></a><span class="item-no">2.8</span>&#160; Limitations &amp; work-arounds
-</h3><span class="totop"><a href="#peak">(to top)</a></span><br style="clear: both;" />
-<br />
-&#160; htmLawed's main objective is to make the input text <em>more</em>&#160;standard-compliant, secure for web-page readers, and free of HTML elements and attributes considered undesirable by the administrator. Some of its current limitations, regardless of this objective, are noted below along with work-arounds.<br />
-<br />
-&#160; It should be borne in mind that no browser application is 100% standard-compliant, and that some of the standard specs (like asking for normalization of white-spacing within <span class="term">textarea</span>&#160;elements) are clearly wrong. Regarding security, note that <em>unsafe</em>&#160;HTML code is not necessarily legally invalid.<br />
-<br />
-&#160; * &#160;htmLawed is meant for input that goes into the <span class="term">body</span>&#160;of HTML documents. HTML's head-level elements are not supported, nor are the frameset elements <span class="term">frameset</span>, <span class="term">frame</span>&#160;and <span class="term">noframes</span>.<br />
-<br />
-&#160; * &#160;It cannot transform the non-standard <span class="term">embed</span>&#160;elements to the standard-compliant <span class="term">object</span>&#160;elements. Yet, it can allow <span class="term">embed</span>&#160;elements if permitted (<span class="term">embed</span>&#160;is widely used and supported). Admins can certainly use the <span class="term">hook_tag</span>&#160;parameter (<a href="#s3.4.9">section 3.4.9</a>) to deploy a custom embed-to-object converter function.<br />
-<br />
-&#160; * &#160;The only non-standard element that may be permitted is <span class="term">embed</span>; others like <span class="term">noembed</span>&#160;and <span class="term">nobr</span>&#160;cannot be permitted without modifying the htmLawed code.<br />
-<br />
-&#160; * &#160;It cannot handle input that has non-HTML code like <span class="term">SVG</span>&#160;and <span class="term">MathML</span>. One way around is to break the input into pieces and passing only those without non-HTML code to htmLawed. Another is described in <a href="#s3.9">section 3.9</a>. A third way may be to some how take advantage of the <span class="term">$config["and_mark"]</span>&#160;parameter (see <a href="#s3.2">section 3.2</a>).<br />
-<br />
-&#160; * &#160;By default, htmLawed won't check many attribute values for standard compliance. E.g., <span class="term">width="20m"</span>&#160;with the dimension in non-standard <span class="term">m</span>&#160;is let through. Implementing universal and strict attribute value checks can make htmLawed slow and resource-intensive. Admins should look at the <span class="term">hook_tag</span>&#160;parameter (<a href="#s3.4.9">section 3.4.9</a>) or <span class="term">$spec</span>&#160;to enforce finer checks.<br />
-<br />
-&#160; * &#160;The attributes, deprecated (which can be transformed too) or not, that it supports are largely those that are in the specs. Only a few of the proprietary attributes are supported.<br />
-<br />
-&#160; * &#160;Except for contained URLs and dynamic expressions (also optional), htmLawed does not check CSS style property values. Admins should look at using the <span class="term">hook_tag</span>&#160;parameter (<a href="#s3.4.9">section 3.4.9</a>) or <span class="term">$spec</span>&#160;for finer checks. Perhaps the best option is to disallow <span class="term">style</span>&#160;but allow <span class="term">class</span>&#160;attributes with the right <span class="term">oneof</span>&#160;or <span class="term">match</span>&#160;values for <span class="term">class</span>, and have the various class style properties in <span class="term">.css</span>&#160;CSS stylesheet files.<br />
-<br />
-&#160; * &#160;htmLawed does not parse emoticons, decode <em>BBcode</em>, or <em>wikify</em>, auto-converting text to proper HTML. Similarly, it won't convert line-breaks to <span class="term">br</span>&#160;elements. Such functions are beyond its purview. Admins should use other code to pre- or post-process the input for such purposes.<br />
-<br />
-&#160; * &#160;htmLawed cannot be used to have links force-opened in new windows (by auto-adding appropriate <span class="term">target</span>&#160;and <span class="term">onclick</span>&#160;attributes to <span class="term">a</span>). Admins should look at Javascript-based DOM-modifying solutions for this. Admins may also be able to use a custom hook function to enforce such checks (<span class="term">hook_tag</span>&#160;parameter; see <a href="#s3.4.9">section 3.4.9</a>).<br />
-<br />
-&#160; * &#160;Nesting-based checks are not possible. E.g., one cannot disallow <span class="term">p</span>&#160;elements specifically inside <span class="term">td</span>&#160;while permitting it elsewhere. Admins may be able to use a custom hook function to enforce such checks (<span class="term">hook_tag</span>&#160;parameter; see <a href="#s3.4.9">section 3.4.9</a>).<br />
-<br />
-&#160; * &#160;Except for optionally converting absolute or relative URLs to the other type, htmLawed will not alter URLs (e.g., to change the value of query strings or to convert <span class="term">http</span>&#160;to <span class="term">https</span>. Having absolute URLs may be a standard-requirement, e.g., when HTML is embedded in email messages, whereas altering URLs for other purposes is beyond htmLawed's goals. Admins may be able to use a custom hook function to enforce such checks (<span class="term">hook_tag</span>&#160;parameter; see <a href="#s3.4.9">section 3.4.9</a>).<br />
-<br />
-&#160; * &#160;Pairs of opening and closing tags that do not enclose any content (like <span class="term">&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;</span>) are not removed. This may be against the standard specs for certain elements (e.g., <span class="term">table</span>). However, presence of such standard-incompliant code will not break the display or layout of content. Admins can also use simple regex-based code to filter out such code.<br />
-<br />
-&#160; * &#160;htmLawed does not check for certain element orderings described in the standard specs (e.g., in a <span class="term">table</span>, <span class="term">tbody</span>&#160;is allowed before <span class="term">tfoot</span>). Admins may be able to use a custom hook function to enforce such checks (<span class="term">hook_tag</span>&#160;parameter; see <a href="#s3.4.9">section 3.4.9</a>).<br />
-<br />
-&#160; * &#160;htmLawed does not check the number of nested elements. E.g., it will allow two <span class="term">caption</span>&#160;elements in a <span class="term">table</span>&#160;element, illegal as per the specs. Admins may be able to use a custom hook function to enforce such checks (<span class="term">hook_tag</span>&#160;parameter; see <a href="#s3.4.9">section 3.4.9</a>).<br />
-<br />
-&#160; * &#160;htmLawed might convert certain entities to actual characters and remove backslashes and CSS comment-markers (<span class="term">/&#42;</span>) in <span class="term">style</span>&#160;attribute values in order to detect malicious HTML like crafted IE-specific dynamic expressions like <span class="term">&amp;#101;xpression...</span>. If this is too harsh, admins can allow CSS expressions through htmLawed core but then use a custom function through the <span class="term">hook_tag</span>&#160;parameter (<a href="#s3.4.9">section 3.4.9</a>) to more specifically identify CSS expressions in the <span class="term">style</span>&#160;attribute values. Also, using <span class="term">$config["style_pass"]</span>, it is possible to have htmLawed pass <span class="term">style</span>&#160;attribute values without even looking at them (<a href="#s3.4.8">section 3.4.8</a>).<br />
-<br />
-&#160; * &#160;htmLawed does not correct certain possible attribute-based security vulnerabilities (e.g., <span class="term">&lt;a href="http&#58;//x%22+style=%22background-image&#58;xss"&gt;x&lt;/a&gt;</span>). These arise when browsers mis-identify markup in <em>escaped</em>&#160;text, defeating the very purpose of escaping text (a bad browser will read the given example as <span class="term">&lt;a href="http&#58;//x" style="background-image&#58;xss"&gt;x&lt;/a&gt;</span>).<br />
-<br />
-&#160; * &#160;Because of poor Unicode support in PHP, htmLawed does not remove the <em>high value</em>&#160;HTML-invalid characters with multi-byte code-points. Such characters however are extremely unlikely to be in the input. (see <a href="#s3.1">section 3.1</a>).<br />
-<br />
-&#160; * &#160;htmLawed does not check or correct the character encoding of the input it receives. In conjunction with permitting circumstances such as when the character encoding is left undefined through HTTP headers or HTML <span class="term">meta</span>&#160;tags, this can permit an exploit (like Google's UTF-7/XSS vulnerability of the past).<br />
-<br />
-&#160; * &#160;Like any script using PHP's PCRE regex functions, PHP setup-specific low PCRE limit values can cause htmLawed to at least partially fail with very long input texts.<br />

-<br />
-<br />
-&#160; Some case-studies are presented below.<br />
-<br />
-&#160; <strong>1.</strong>&#160;A blog administrator wants to allow only <span class="term">a</span>, <span class="term">em</span>, <span class="term">strike</span>, <span class="term">strong</span>&#160;and <span class="term">u</span>&#160;in comments, but needs <span class="term">strike</span>&#160;and <span class="term">u</span>&#160;transformed to <span class="term">span</span>&#160;for better XHTML 1-strict compliance, and, he wants the <span class="term">a</span>&#160;links to be to <span class="term">http</span>&#160;or <span class="term">https</span>&#160;resources:<br />
-<br />
-
-<code class="code">&#160; &#160; $processed = htmLawed($in, array(&#39;elements&#39;=&gt;&#39;a, em, strike, strong, u&#39;, &#39;make_tag_strict&#39;=&gt;1, &#39;safe&#39;=&gt;1, &#39;schemes&#39;=&gt;&#39;&#42;&#58;http, https&#39;), &#39;a=href&#39;);</code>
-<br />
-<br />
-&#160; <strong>2.</strong>&#160;An author uses a custom-made web application to load content on his web-site. He is the only one using that application and the content he generates has all types of HTML, including scripts. The web application uses htmLawed primarily as a tool to correct errors that creep in while writing HTML and to take care of the occasional <em>bad</em>&#160;characters in copy-paste text introduced by Microsoft Office. The web application provides a preview before submitted input is added to the content. For the previewing process, htmLawed is set up as follows:<br />
-<br />
-
-<code class="code">&#160; &#160; $processed = htmLawed($in, array(&#39;css_expression&#39;=&gt;1, &#39;keep_bad&#39;=&gt;1, &#39;make_tag_strict&#39;=&gt;1, &#39;schemes&#39;=&gt;&#39;&#42;&#58;&#42;&#39;, &#39;valid_xhtml&#39;=&gt;1));</code>
-<br />
-<br />
-&#160; For the final submission process, <span class="term">keep_bad</span>&#160;is set to <span class="term">6</span>. A value of <span class="term">1</span>&#160;for the preview process allows the author to note and correct any HTML mistake without losing any of the typed text.<br />
-<br />
-&#160; <strong>3.</strong>&#160;A data-miner is scraping information in a specific table of similar web-pages and is collating the data rows, and uses htmLawed to reduce unnecessary markup and white-spaces:<br />
-<br />
-
-<code class="code">&#160; &#160; $processed = htmLawed($in, array(&#39;elements&#39;=&gt;&#39;tr, td&#39;, &#39;tidy&#39;=&gt;-1), &#39;tr, td =&#39;);</code>

-&#160; Valid characters (more correctly, their code-points) in HTML or XML are, hexadecimally, <span class="term">9</span>, <span class="term">a</span>, <span class="term">d</span>, <span class="term">20</span>&#160;to <span class="term">d7ff</span>, and <span class="term">e000</span>&#160;to <span class="term">10ffff</span>, except <span class="term">fffe</span>&#160;and <span class="term">ffff</span>&#160;(decimally, <span class="term">9</span>, <span class="term">10</span>, <span class="term">13</span>, <span class="term">32</span>&#160;to <span class="term">55295</span>, and <span class="term">57344</span>&#160;to <span class="term">1114111</span>, except <span class="term">65534</span>&#160;and <span class="term">65535</span>). htmLawed removes the invalid characters <span class="term">0</span>&#160;to <span class="term">8</span>, <span class="term">b</span>, <span class="term">c</span>, and <span class="term">e</span>&#160;to <span class="term">1f</span>.<br />
-<br />
-&#160; Because of PHP's poor native support for multi-byte characters, htmLawed cannot check for the remaining invalid code-points. However, for various reasons, it is very unlikely for any of those characters to be in the input.<br />
-<br />
-&#160; Characters that are discouraged (see <a href="#s5.1">section 5.1</a>) but not invalid are not removed by htmLawed.<br />
-<br />
-&#160; It (function <span class="term">hl_tag()</span>) also replaces the potentially dangerous (in some Mozilla [Firefox] and Opera browsers) soft-hyphen character (code-point, hexadecimally, <span class="term">ad</span>, or decimally, <span class="term">173</span>) in attribute values with spaces. Where required, the characters <span class="term">&lt;</span>, <span class="term">&gt;</span>, <span class="term">&amp;</span>, and <span class="term">"</span>&#160;are converted to entities.<br />
-<br />
-&#160; With <span class="term">$config["clean_ms_char"]</span>&#160;set as <span class="term">1</span>&#160;or <span class="term">2</span>, many of the discouraged characters (decimal code-points <span class="term">127</span>&#160;to <span class="term">159</span>&#160;except <span class="term">133</span>) that many Microsoft applications incorrectly use (as per the <span class="term">Windows 1252</span>&#160;[<span class="term">Cp-1252</span>] or a similar encoding system), and the character for decimal code-point <span class="term">133</span>, are converted to appropriate decimal numerical entities (or removed for a few cases)-- see appendix in <a href="#s5.4">section 5.4</a>. This can help avoid some display issues arising from copying-pasting of content.<br />
-<br />
-&#160; With <span class="term">$config["clean_ms_char"]</span>&#160;set as <span class="term">2</span>, characters for the hexadecimal code-points <span class="term">82</span>, <span class="term">91</span>, and <span class="term">92</span>&#160;(for special single-quotes), and <span class="term">84</span>, <span class="term">93</span>, and <span class="term">94</span>&#160;(for special double-quotes) are converted to ordinary single and double quotes respectively and not to entities.<br />
-<br />
-&#160; The character values are replaced with entities/characters and not character values referred to by the entities/characters to keep this task independent of the character-encoding of input text.<br />
-<br />
-&#160; The <span class="term">$config["clean_ms_char"]</span>&#160;parameter should not be used if authors do not copy-paste Microsoft-created text, or if the input text is not believed to use the <span class="term">Windows 1252</span>&#160;(<span class="term">Cp-1252</span>) or a similar encoding like <span class="term">Cp-1251</span>. Further, the input form and the web-pages displaying it or its content should have the character encoding appropriately marked-up.<br />

Character entities referring to the soft-hyphen character (the <span class="term">&amp;shy;</span>&#160;or <span class="term">\xad</span>&#160;character; hexadecimal code-point <span class="term">ad</span>&#160;[decimal <span class="term">173</span>]) in URL-accepting attribute values are always replaced with spaces; soft-hyphens in attribute values introduce vulnerabilities in some older versions of the Opera and Mozilla [Firefox] browsers.<br />

-&#160; <em>Neutralization</em>&#160;refers to the <em>entitification</em>&#160;of <span class="term">&amp;</span>&#160;to <span class="term">&amp;amp;</span>.<br />
-<br />
-&#160; <strong>Note</strong>: htmLawed does not convert entities to the actual characters represented by them; one can pass the htmLawed output through PHP's <span class="term">html_entity_decode</span>&#160;<a href="http://www.php.net/html_entity_decode">function</a>&#160;for that.<br />
-<br />
-&#160; <strong>Note</strong>: If <span class="term">$config["and_mark"]</span>&#160;is set, and set to a value other than <span class="term">0</span>, then the <span class="term">&amp;</span>&#160;characters in the original input are replaced with the control character for the hexadecimal code-point <span class="term">6</span>&#160;(<span class="term">\x06</span>; <span class="term">&amp;</span>&#160;characters introduced by htmLawed, e.g., after converting <span class="term">&lt;</span>&#160;to <span class="term">&amp;lt;</span>, are not affected). This allows one to distinguish, say, an <span class="term">&amp;gt;</span>&#160;introduced by htmLawed and an <span class="term">&amp;gt;</span>&#160;put in by the input writer, and can be helpful in further processing of the htmLawed-processed text (e.g., to identify the character sequence <span class="term">o(&gt;&lt;)o</span>&#160;to generate an emoticon image). When this feature is active, admins should ensure that the htmLawed output is not directly used in web pages or XML documents as the presence of the <span class="term">\x06</span>&#160;can break documents. Before use in such documents, and preferably before any storage, any remaining <span class="term">\x06</span>&#160;should be changed back to <span class="term">&amp;</span>, e.g., with:<br />
-<br />
-
-<code class="code">&#160; &#160; $final = str_replace("\x06", &#39;&amp;&#39;, $prelim);</code>

-<br />
-&#160; htmLawed can be configured to allow only certain HTML elements (tags) in the input. Disallowed elements (just tag-content, and not element-content), based on <span class="term">$config["keep_bad"]</span>, are either <em>neutralized</em>&#160;(converted to plain text by entitification of <span class="term">&lt;</span>&#160;and <span class="term">&gt;</span>) or removed.<br />
-<br />
-&#160; E.g., with only <span class="term">em</span>&#160;permitted:<br />

-&#160; See <a href="#s3.3.3">section 3.3.3</a>&#160;for differences between the various non-zero <span class="term">$config["keep_bad"]</span>&#160;values.<br />
-<br />
-&#160; htmLawed by default permits these 86 elements:<br />
-<br />
-
-<code class="code">&#160; &#160; a, abbr, acronym, address, applet, area, b, bdo, big, blockquote, br, button, caption, center, cite, code, col, colgroup, dd, del, dfn, dir, div, dl, dt, em, embed, fieldset, font, form, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, iframe, img, input, ins, isindex, kbd, label, legend, li, map, menu, noscript, object, ol, optgroup, option, p, param, pre, q, rb, rbc, rp, rt, rtc, ruby, s, samp, script, select, small, span, strike, strong, sub, sup, table, tbody, td, textarea, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, var</code>
-<br />
-<br />
-&#160; Except for <span class="term">embed</span>&#160;(included because of its wide-spread use) and the Ruby elements (<span class="term">rb</span>, <span class="term">rbc</span>, <span class="term">rp</span>, <span class="term">rt</span>, <span class="term">rtc</span>, <span class="term">ruby</span>; part of XHTML 1.1), these are all the elements in the HTML 4/XHTML 1 specs. Strict-specific specs. exclude <span class="term">center</span>, <span class="term">dir</span>, <span class="term">font</span>, <span class="term">isindex</span>, <span class="term">menu</span>, <span class="term">s</span>, <span class="term">strike</span>, and <span class="term">u</span>.<br />
-<br />
-&#160; With <span class="term">$config["safe"] = 1</span>, the default set will exclude <span class="term">applet</span>, <span class="term">embed</span>, <span class="term">iframe</span>, <span class="term">object</span>&#160;and <span class="term">script</span>; see <a href="#s3.6">section 3.6</a>.<br />
-<br />
-&#160; When <span class="term">$config["elements"]</span>, which specifies allowed elements, is <em>properly</em>&#160;defined, and neither empty nor set to <span class="term">0</span>&#160;or <span class="term">&#42;</span>, the default set is not used. To have elements added to or removed from the default set, a <span class="term">+/-</span>&#160;notation is used. E.g., <span class="term">&#42;-script-object</span>&#160;implies that only <span class="term">script</span>&#160;and <span class="term">object</span>&#160;are disallowed, whereas <span class="term">&#42;+embed</span>&#160;means that <span class="term">noembed</span>&#160;is also allowed. Elements can also be specified as comma separated names. E.g., <span class="term">a, b, i</span>&#160;means only <span class="term">a</span>, <span class="term">b</span>&#160;and <span class="term">i</span>&#160;are permitted. In this notation, <span class="term">&#42;</span>, <span class="term">+</span>&#160;and <span class="term">-</span>&#160;have no significance and can actually cause a mis-reading.<br />
-<br />
-&#160; Some more examples of <span class="term">$config["elements"]</span>&#160;values indicating permitted elements (note that empty spaces are liberally allowed for clarity):<br />
-<br />
-&#160; * &#160;<span class="term">a, blockquote, code, em, strong</span>&#160;-- only <span class="term">a</span>, <span class="term">blockquote</span>, <span class="term">code</span>, <span class="term">em</span>, and <span class="term">strong</span><br />
-&#160; * &#160;<span class="term">&#42;-script</span>&#160;-- all excluding <span class="term">script</span><br />
-&#160; * &#160;<span class="term">&#42; -center -dir -font -isindex -menu -s -strike -u</span>&#160;-- only XHTML-Strict elements<br />
-&#160; * &#160;<span class="term">&#42;+noembed-script</span>&#160;-- all including <span class="term">noembed</span>&#160;excluding <span class="term">script</span><br />
-<br />
-&#160; Some mis-usages (and the resulting permitted elements) that can be avoided:<br />
-<br />
-&#160; * &#160;<span class="term">-&#42;</span>&#160;-- none; instead of htmLawed, one might just use, e.g., the <span class="term">htmlspecialchars()</span>&#160;PHP function<br />
-&#160; * &#160;<span class="term">&#42;, -script</span>&#160;-- all except <span class="term">script</span>; admin probably meant <span class="term">&#42;-script</span><br />
-&#160; * &#160;<span class="term">-&#42;, a, em, strong</span>&#160;-- all; admin probably meant <span class="term">a, em, strong</span><br />
-&#160; * &#160;<span class="term">&#42;</span>&#160;-- all; admin need not have set <span class="term">elements</span><br />
-&#160; * &#160;<span class="term">&#42;-form+form</span>&#160;-- all; a <span class="term">+</span>&#160;will always over-ride any <span class="term">-</span><br />
-&#160; * &#160;<span class="term">&#42;, noembed</span>&#160;-- only <span class="term">noembed</span>; admin probably meant <span class="term">&#42;+noembed</span><br />
-&#160; * &#160;<span class="term">a, +b, i</span>&#160;-- only <span class="term">a</span>&#160;and <span class="term">i</span>; admin probably meant <span class="term">a, b, i</span><br />
-<br />
-&#160; Basically, when using the <span class="term">+/-</span>&#160;notation, commas (<span class="term">,</span>) should not be used, and vice versa, and <span class="term">&#42;</span>&#160;should be used with the former but not the latter.<br />
-<br />
-&#160; <strong>Note</strong>: Even if an element that is not in the default set is allowed through <span class="term">$config["elements"]</span>, like <span class="term">noembed</span>&#160;in the last example, it will eventually be removed during tag balancing unless such balancing is turned off (<span class="term">$config["balance"]</span>&#160;set to <span class="term">0</span>). Currently, the only way around this, which actually is simple, is to edit the various arrays in the function <span class="term">hl_bal()</span>&#160;to accommodate the element and its nesting properties.<br />
-<br />
-&#160; <strong>A possibly second way to specify allowed elements</strong>&#160;is to set <span class="term">$config["parent"]</span>&#160;to an element name that supposedly will hold the input, and to set <span class="term">$config["balance"]</span>&#160;to <span class="term">1</span>. During tag balancing (see <a href="#s3.3.3">section 3.3.3</a>), all elements that cannot legally nest inside the parent element will be removed. The parent element is auto-reset to <span class="term">div</span>&#160;if <span class="term">$config["parent"]</span>&#160;is empty, <span class="term">body</span>, or an element not in htmLawed's default set of 86 elements.<br />
-<br />
-&#160; <em>Tag transformation</em>&#160;is possible for improving XHTML-Strict compliance -- most of the deprecated elements are removed or converted to valid XHTML-Strict ones; see <a href="#s3.3.2">section 3.3.2</a>.<br />

-<br />
-&#160; <span class="term">CDATA</span>&#160;sections have the format <span class="term">&lt;![CDATA[...anything but not "]]&gt;"...]]&gt;</span>, and HTML comments, <span class="term">&lt;!--...anything but not "--&gt;"... --&gt;</span>. Neither HTML comments nor <span class="term">CDATA</span>&#160;sections can reside inside tags. HTML comments can exist anywhere else, but <span class="term">CDATA</span>&#160;sections can exist only where plain text is allowed (e.g., immediately inside <span class="term">td</span>&#160;element content but not immediately inside <span class="term">tr</span>&#160;element content).<br />
-<br />
-&#160; htmLawed (function <span class="term">hl_cmtcd()</span>) handles HTML comments or <span class="term">CDATA</span>&#160;sections depending on the values of <span class="term">$config["comment"]</span>&#160;or <span class="term">$config["cdata"]</span>. If <span class="term">0</span>, such markup is not looked for and the text is processed like plain text. If <span class="term">1</span>, it is removed completely. If <span class="term">2</span>, it is preserved but any <span class="term">&lt;</span>, <span class="term">&gt;</span>&#160;and <span class="term">&amp;</span>&#160;inside are changed to entities. If <span class="term">3</span>, they are left as such.<br />
-<br />
-&#160; Note that for the last two cases, HTML comments and <span class="term">CDATA</span>&#160;sections will always be removed from tag content (function <span class="term">hl_tag()</span>).<br />

-<br />
-&#160; An option like <span class="term">1</span>&#160;is useful, e.g., when a writer previews his submission, whereas one like <span class="term">3</span>&#160;is useful before content is finalized and made available to all.<br />
-<br />
-&#160; <strong>Note:</strong>&#160;In the example above, unlike <span class="term">&lt;&#42;&gt;</span>, <span class="term">&lt;xml&gt;</span>&#160;gets considered as a tag (even though there is no HTML element named <span class="term">xml</span>). In general, text matching the regular expression pattern <span class="term">&lt;(/?)([a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z1-6]&#42;)([^&gt;]&#42;?)\s?&gt;</span>&#160;is considered a tag (phrase enclosed by the angled brackets <span class="term">&lt;</span>&#160;and <span class="term">&gt;</span>, and starting [with an optional slash preceding] with an alphanumeric word that starts with an alphabet...).<br />
-<br />
-&#160; Nesting/content rules for each of the 86 elements in htmLawed's default set (see <a href="#s3.3">section 3.3</a>) are defined in function <span class="term">hl_bal()</span>. This means that if a non-standard element besides <span class="term">embed</span>&#160;is being permitted through <span class="term">$config["elements"]</span>, the element's tag content will end up getting removed if <span class="term">$config["balance"]</span>&#160;is set to <span class="term">1</span>.<br />
-<br />
-&#160; Plain text and/or certain elements nested inside <span class="term">blockquote</span>, <span class="term">form</span>, <span class="term">map</span>&#160;and <span class="term">noscript</span>&#160;need to be in block-level elements. This point is often missed during manual writing of HTML code. htmLawed attempts to address this during balancing. E.g., if the parent container is set as <span class="term">form</span>, the input <span class="term">B&#58;&lt;input type="text" value="b" /&gt;C&#58;&lt;input type="text" value="c" /&gt;</span>&#160;is converted to <span class="term">&lt;div&gt;B&#58;&lt;input type="text" value="b" /&gt;C&#58;&lt;input type="text" value="c" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</span>.<br />

-</h3><span class="totop"><a href="#peak">(to top)</a></span><br style="clear: both;" />
-<br />
-&#160; As per specs, the following elements require legal child elements nested inside them:<br />
-<br />
-
-<code class="code">&#160; &#160; blockquote, dir, dl, form, map, menu, noscript, ol, optgroup, rbc, rtc, ruby, select, table, tbody, tfoot, thead, tr, ul</code>
-<br />
-<br />
-&#160; In some cases, the specs stipulate the number and/or the ordering of the child elements. A <span class="term">table</span>&#160;can have 0 or 1 <span class="term">caption</span>, <span class="term">tbody</span>, <span class="term">tfoot</span>, and <span class="term">thead</span>, but they must be in this order: <span class="term">caption</span>, <span class="term">thead</span>, <span class="term">tfoot</span>, <span class="term">tbody</span>.<br />
-<br />
-&#160; htmLawed currently does not check for conformance to these rules. Note that any non-compliance in this regard will not introduce security vulnerabilities, crash browser applications, or affect the rendering of web-pages.<br />
-<br />
-&#160; With <span class="term">$config["direct_list_nest"]</span>&#160;set to <span class="term">1</span>, htmLawed will allow direct nesting of an <span class="term">ol</span>&#160;or <span class="term">ul</span>&#160;list within another <span class="term">ol</span>&#160;or <span class="term">ul</span>&#160;without requiring the child list to be within an <span class="term">li</span>&#160;of the parent list. While this is not standard-compliant, directly nested lists are rendered properly by almost all browsers. The parameter <span class="term">$config["direct_list_nest"]</span>&#160;has no effect if tag-balancing (<a href="#s3.3.3">section 3.3.3</a>) is turned off.<br />

-<a name="s3.3.5" id="s3.3.5"></a><span class="item-no">3.3.5</span>&#160; Beautify or compact HTML
-</h3><span class="totop"><a href="#peak">(to top)</a></span><br style="clear: both;" />
-<br />
-&#160; By default, htmLawed will neither <em>beautify</em>&#160;HTML code by formatting it with indentations, etc., nor will it make it compact by removing un-needed white-space.(It does always properly white-space tag content.)<br />
-<br />
-&#160; As per the HTML standards, spaces, tabs and line-breaks in web-pages (except those inside <span class="term">pre</span>&#160;elements) are all considered equivalent, and referred to as <em>white-spaces</em>. Browser applications are supposed to consider contiguous white-spaces as just a single space, and to disregard white-spaces trailing opening tags or preceding closing tags. This white-space <em>normalization</em>&#160;allows the use of text/code beautifully formatted with indentations and line-spacings for readability. Such <em>pretty</em>&#160;HTML can, however, increase the size of web-pages, or make the extraction or scraping of plain text cumbersome.<br />
-<br />
-&#160; With the <span class="term">$config</span>&#160;parameter <span class="term">tidy</span>, htmLawed can be used to beautify or compact the input text. Input with just plain text and no HTML markup is also subject to this. Besides <span class="term">pre</span>, the <span class="term">script</span>&#160;and <span class="term">textarea</span>&#160;elements, CDATA sections, and HTML comments are not subjected to the tidying process.<br />
-<br />
-&#160; To <em>compact</em>, use <span class="term">$config["tidy"] = -1</span>; single instances or runs of white-spaces are replaced with a single space, and white-spaces trailing and leading open and closing tags, respectively, are removed.<br />
-<br />
-&#160; To <em>beautify</em>, <span class="term">$config["tidy"]</span>&#160;is set as <span class="term">1</span>, or for customized tidying, as a string like <span class="term">2s2n</span>. The <span class="term">s</span>&#160;or <span class="term">t</span>&#160;character specifies the use of spaces or tabs for indentation. The first and third characters, any of the digits 0-9, specify the number of spaces or tabs per indentation, and any parental lead spacing (extra indenting of the whole block of input text). The <span class="term">r</span>&#160;and <span class="term">n</span>&#160;characters are used to specify line-break characters: <span class="term">n</span>&#160;for <span class="term">\n</span>&#160;(Unix/Mac OS X line-breaks), <span class="term">rn</span>&#160;or <span class="term">nr</span>&#160;for <span class="term">\r\n</span>&#160;(Windows/DOS line-breaks), or <span class="term">r</span>&#160;for <span class="term">\r</span>.<br />
-<br />
-&#160; The <span class="term">$config["tidy"]</span>&#160;value of <span class="term">1</span>&#160;is equivalent to <span class="term">2s0n</span>. Other <span class="term">$config["tidy"]</span>&#160;values are read loosely: a value of <span class="term">4</span>&#160;is equivalent to <span class="term">4s0n</span>; <span class="term">t2</span>, to <span class="term">1t2n</span>; <span class="term">s</span>, to <span class="term">2s0n</span>; <span class="term">2TR</span>, to <span class="term">2t0r</span>; <span class="term">T1</span>, to <span class="term">1t1n</span>; <span class="term">nr3</span>, to <span class="term">3s0nr</span>, and so on. Except in the indentations and line-spacings, runs of white-spaces are replaced with a single space during beautification.<br />
-<br />
-&#160; Input formatting using <span class="term">$config["tidy"]</span>&#160;is not recommended when input text has mixed markup (like HTML + PHP).<br />

-<br />
-&#160; htmLawed will only permit attributes described in the HTML specs (including deprecated ones). It also permits some attributes for use with the <span class="term">embed</span>&#160;element (the non-standard <span class="term">embed</span>&#160;element is supported in htmLawed because of its widespread use), and the the <span class="term">xml&#58;space</span>&#160;attribute (valid only in XHTML 1.1). A list of such 111 attributes and the elements they are allowed in is in <a href="#s5.2">section 5.2</a>.<br />
-<br />
-&#160; When <span class="term">$config["deny_attribute"]</span>&#160;is not set, or set to <span class="term">0</span>, or empty (<span class="term">""</span>), all the 111 attributes are permitted. Otherwise, <span class="term">$config["deny_attribute"]</span>&#160;can be set as a list of comma-separated names of the denied attributes. <span class="term">on&#42;</span>&#160;can be used to refer to the group of potentially dangerous, script-accepting attributes: <span class="term">onblur</span>, <span class="term">onchange</span>, <span class="term">onclick</span>, <span class="term">ondblclick</span>, <span class="term">onfocus</span>, <span class="term">onkeydown</span>, <span class="term">onkeypress</span>, <span class="term">onkeyup</span>, <span class="term">onmousedown</span>, <span class="term">onmousemove</span>, <span class="term">onmouseout</span>, <span class="term">onmouseover</span>, <span class="term">onmouseup</span>, <span class="term">onreset</span>, <span class="term">onselect</span>&#160;and <span class="term">onsubmit</span>.<br />
-<br />
-&#160; Note that attributes specified in <span class="term">$config["deny_attribute"]</span>&#160;are denied globally, for all elements. To deny attributes for only specific elements, <span class="term">$spec</span>&#160;(see <a href="#s2.3">section 2.3</a>) can be used. <span class="term">$spec</span>&#160;can also be used to element-specifically permit an attribute otherwise denied through <span class="term">$config["deny_attribute"]</span>.<br />
-<br />
-&#160; With <span class="term">$config["safe"] = 1</span>&#160;(<a href="#s3.6">section 3.6</a>), the <span class="term">on&#42;</span>&#160;attributes are automatically disallowed.<br />
-<br />
-&#160; <strong>Note</strong>: To deny all but a few attributes globally, a simpler way to specify <span class="term">$config["deny_attribute"]</span>&#160;would be to use the notation <span class="term">&#42; -attribute1 -attribute2 ...</span>. Thus, a value of <span class="term">&#42; -title -href</span>&#160;implies that except <span class="term">href</span>&#160;and <span class="term">title</span>&#160;(where allowed as per standards) all other attributes are to be removed. With this notation, the value for the parameter <span class="term">safe</span>&#160;(<a href="#s3.6">section 3.6</a>) will have no effect on <span class="term">deny_attribute</span>.<br />
-<br />
-&#160; htmLawed (function <span class="term">hl_tag()</span>) also:<br />

-&#160; * &#160;Lower-cases attribute names<br />
-&#160; * &#160;Removes duplicate attributes (last one stays)<br />

-<br />
-&#160; If indicated attributes for the following elements are found missing, htmLawed (function <span class="term">hl_tag()</span>) will add them (with values same as attribute names unless indicated otherwise below):<br />
-<br />
-&#160; * &#160;area - alt (<span class="term">area</span>)<br />
-&#160; * &#160;area, img - src, alt (<span class="term">image</span>)<br />

-&#160; Additionally, with <span class="term">$config["xml&#58;lang"]</span>&#160;set to <span class="term">1</span>&#160;or <span class="term">2</span>, if the <span class="term">lang</span>&#160;but not the <span class="term">xml&#58;lang</span>&#160;attribute is declared, then the latter is added too, with a value copied from that of <span class="term">lang</span>. This is for better standard-compliance. With <span class="term">$config["xml&#58;lang"]</span>&#160;set to <span class="term">2</span>, the <span class="term">lang</span>&#160;attribute is removed (XHTML 1.1 specs).<br />
-<br />
-&#160; Note that the <span class="term">name</span>&#160;attribute for <span class="term">map</span>, invalid in XHTML 1.1, is also transformed if required -- see <a href="#s3.4.6">section 3.4.6</a>.<br />

-<br />
-&#160; If <span class="term">$config["unique_ids"]</span>&#160;is <span class="term">1</span>, htmLawed (function <span class="term">hl_tag()</span>) removes <span class="term">id</span>&#160;attributes with values that are not XHTML-compliant (must begin with a letter and can contain letters, digits, <span class="term">&#58;</span>, <span class="term">.</span>, <span class="term">-</span>&#160;and <span class="term">_</span>) or duplicate. If <span class="term">$config["unique_ids"]</span>&#160;is a word, any duplicate but otherwise valid value will be appropriately prefixed with the word to ensure its uniqueness.

-<br />
-&#160; Even if multiple inputs need to be filtered (through multiple calls to htmLawed), htmLawed ensures uniqueness of <span class="term">id</span>&#160;values as it uses a global variable (<span class="term">$GLOBALS["hl_Ids"]</span>&#160;array). Further, an admin can restrict the use of certain <span class="term">id</span>&#160;values by presetting this variable before htmLawed is called into use. E.g.:<br />

E.g., if the <span class="term">afp</span>&#160;scheme is not permitted, then <span class="term">&lt;a href="afp&#58;//domain.org"&gt;</span>&#160;becomes <span class="term">&lt;a href="denied&#58;afp&#58;//domain.org"&gt;</span>, and if Javascript is not permitted <span class="term">&lt;a onclick="javascript&#58;xss();"&gt;</span>&#160;becomes <span class="term">&lt;a onclick="denied&#58;javascript&#58;xss();"&gt;</span>.<br />
-<br />
-&#160; By default htmLawed permits these schemes in URLs for the <span class="term">href</span>&#160;attribute:<br />
-<br />
-
-<code class="code">&#160; &#160; aim, feed, file, ftp, gopher, http, https, irc, mailto, news, nntp, sftp, ssh, telnet</code>
-<br />
-<br />
-&#160; Also, only <span class="term">file</span>, <span class="term">http</span>&#160;and <span class="term">https</span>&#160;are permitted in attributes whose names start with <span class="term">o</span>&#160;(like <span class="term">onmouseover</span>), and in these attributes that accept URLs:<br />
-<br />
-
-<code class="code">&#160; &#160; action, cite, classid, codebase, data, href, longdesc, model, pluginspage, pluginurl, src, style, usemap</code>
-<br />
-<br />
-&#160; These default sets are used when <span class="term">$config["schemes"]</span>&#160;is not set (see <a href="#s2.2">section 2.2</a>). To over-ride the defaults, <span class="term">$config["schemes"]</span>&#160;is defined as a string of semi-colon-separated sub-strings of type <span class="term">attribute&#58; comma-separated schemes</span>. E.g., <span class="term">href&#58; mailto, http, https; onclick&#58; javascript; src&#58; http, https</span>. For unspecified attributes, <span class="term">file</span>, <span class="term">http</span>&#160;and <span class="term">https</span>&#160;are permitted. This can be changed by passing schemes for <span class="term">&#42;</span>&#160;in <span class="term">$config["schemes"]</span>. E.g., <span class="term">href&#58; mailto, http, https; &#42;&#58; https, https</span>.<br />
-<br />
-&#160; <span class="term">&#42;</span>&#160;can be put in the list of schemes to permit all protocols. E.g., <span class="term">style&#58; &#42;; img&#58; http, https</span>&#160;results in protocols not being checked in <span class="term">style</span>&#160;attribute values. However, in such cases, any relative-to-absolute URL conversion, or vice versa, (<a href="#s3.4.4">section 3.4.4</a>) is not done.<br />
-<br />
-&#160; Thus, <em>to allow Javascript</em>, one can set <span class="term">$config["schemes"]</span>&#160;as <span class="term">href&#58; mailto, http, https; &#42;&#58; http, https, javascript</span>, or <span class="term">href&#58; mailto, http, https, javascript; &#42;&#58; http, https, javascript</span>, or <span class="term">&#42;&#58; &#42;</span>, and so on.<br />
-<br />
-&#160; As a side-note, one may find <span class="term">style&#58; &#42;</span>&#160;useful as URLs in <span class="term">style</span>&#160;attributes can be specified in a variety of ways, and the patterns that htmLawed uses to identify URLs may mistakenly identify non-URL text.<br />
-<br />
-&#160; <span class="term">!</span>&#160;can be put in the list of schemes to disallow all protocols as well as <em>local</em>&#160;URLs. Thus, with <span class="term">href&#58; http, style&#58; !</span>, '&lt;a href="http://cnn.com" style="background-image: url('local.jpg');"&gt;CNN&lt;/a&gt;' will become '&lt;a href="http://cnn.com" style="background-image: url('denied:local.jpg');"&gt;CNN&lt;/a&gt;'.<br />
-<br />
-&#160; <strong>Note</strong>: If URL-accepting attributes other than those listed above are being allowed, then the scheme will not be checked unless the attribute name contains the string <span class="term">src</span>&#160;(e.g., <span class="term">dynsrc</span>) or starts with <span class="term">o</span>&#160;(e.g., <span class="term">onbeforecopy</span>).<br />
-<br />
-&#160; With <span class="term">$config["safe"] = 1</span>, all URLs are disallowed in the <span class="term">style</span>&#160;attribute values.<br />

-</h4><span class="totop"><a href="#peak">(to top)</a></span><br style="clear: both;" />
-<br />
-&#160; htmLawed can make absolute URLs in attributes like <span class="term">href</span>&#160;relative (<span class="term">$config["abs_url"]</span>&#160;is <span class="term">-1</span>), and vice versa (<span class="term">$config["abs_url"]</span>&#160;is <span class="term">1</span>). URLs in scripts are not considered for this, and so are URLs like <span class="term">#section_6</span>&#160;(fragment), <span class="term">?name=Tim#show</span>&#160;(starting with query string), and <span class="term">;var=1?name=Tim#show</span>&#160;(starting with parameters). Further, this requires that <span class="term">$config["base_url"]</span>&#160;be set properly, with the <span class="term">&#58;//</span>&#160;and a trailing slash (<span class="term">/</span>), with no query string, etc. E.g., <span class="term">file&#58;///D&#58;/page/</span>, <span class="term">https&#58;//abc.com/x/y/</span>, or <span class="term">http&#58;//localhost/demo/</span>&#160;are okay, but <span class="term">file&#58;///D&#58;/page/?help=1</span>, <span class="term">abc.com/x/y/</span>&#160;and <span class="term">http&#58;//localhost/demo/index.htm</span>&#160;are not.<br />
-<br />
-&#160; For making absolute URLs relative, only those URLs that have the <span class="term">$config["base_url"]</span>&#160;string at the beginning are converted. E.g., with <span class="term">$config["base_url"] = "https&#58;//abc.com/x/y/"</span>, <span class="term">https&#58;//abc.com/x/y/a.gif</span>&#160;and <span class="term">https&#58;//abc.com/x/y/z/b.gif</span>&#160;become <span class="term">a.gif</span>&#160;and <span class="term">z/b.gif</span>&#160;respectively, while <span class="term">https&#58;//abc.com/x/c.gif</span>&#160;is not changed.<br />
-<br />
-&#160; When making relative URLs absolute, only values for scheme, network location (host-name) and path values in the base URL are inherited. See <a href="#s5.5">section 5.5</a>&#160;for more about the URL specification as per RFC <a href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1808.txt">1808</a>.<br />

-&#160; <strong>Note</strong>: The attribute <span class="term">target</span>&#160;for <span class="term">a</span>&#160;is allowed even though it is not in XHTML 1.0 specs.

For such replacements for <span class="term">a</span>&#160;and <span class="term">map</span>, for which the <span class="term">name</span>&#160;attribute is deprecated in XHTML 1.1, <span class="term">$config["no_deprecated_attr"]</span>&#160;should be set to <span class="term">2</span>&#160;(when set to <span class="term">1</span>, for these two elements, the <span class="term">name</span>&#160;attribute is retained).<br />

-<br />
-&#160; htmLawed (function <span class="term">hl_tag()</span>) can check the <span class="term">href</span>&#160;attribute values (link addresses) as an anti-spam (email or link spam) measure.<br />
-<br />
-&#160; If <span class="term">$config["anti_mail_spam"]</span>&#160;is not <span class="term">0</span>, the <span class="term">@</span>&#160;of email addresses in <span class="term">href</span>&#160;values like <span class="term">mailto&#58;a@b.com</span>&#160;is replaced with text specified by <span class="term">$config["anti_mail_spam"]</span>. The text should be of a form that makes it clear to others that the address needs to be edited before a mail is sent; e.g., <span class="term">&lt;remove_this_antispam&gt;@</span>&#160;(makes the example address <span class="term">a&lt;remove_this_antispam&gt;@b.com</span>).<br />
-<br />
-&#160; For regular links, one can choose to have a <span class="term">rel</span>&#160;attribute with <span class="term">nofollow</span>&#160;in its value (which tells some search engines to not follow a link). This can discourage link spammers. Additionally, or as an alternative, one can choose to empty the <span class="term">href</span>&#160;value altogether (disable the link).<br />
-<br />
-&#160; For use of these options, <span class="term">$config["anti_link_spam"]</span>&#160;should be set as an array with values <span class="term">regex1</span>&#160;and <span class="term">regex2</span>, both or one of which can be empty (like <span class="term">array("", "regex2")</span>) to indicate that that option is not to be used. Otherwise, <span class="term">regex1</span>&#160;or <span class="term">regex2</span>&#160;should be PHP- and PCRE-compatible regular expression patterns: <span class="term">href</span>&#160;values will be matched against them and those matching the pattern will accordingly be treated.<br />
-<br />
-&#160; Note that the regular expressions should have <em>delimiters</em>, and be well-formed and preferably fast. Absolute efficiency/accuracy is often not needed.<br />
-<br />
-&#160; An example, to have a <span class="term">rel</span>&#160;attribute with <span class="term">nofollow</span>&#160;for all links, and to disable links that do not point to domains <span class="term">abc.com</span>&#160;and <span class="term">xyz.org</span>:<br />

(CSS properties like <span class="term">background-image</span>&#160;that accept URLs in their values are noted in <a href="#s5.3">section 5.3</a>.) Dynamic CSS expressions that allow scripting in the IE browser, and can be a vulnerability, can be removed from property values by setting <span class="term">$config["css_expression"]</span>&#160;to <span class="term">1</span>&#160;(default setting). Note that when <span class="term">$config["css_expression"]</span>&#160;is set to <span class="term">1</span>, htmLawed will remove <span class="term">/&#42;</span>&#160;from the <span class="term">style</span>&#160;values.<br />
-<br />
-&#160; <strong>Note</strong>: Because of the various ways of representing characters in attribute values (URL-escapement, entitification, etc.), htmLawed might alter the values of the <span class="term">style</span>&#160;attribute values, and may even falsely identify dynamic CSS expressions and URL schemes in them. If this is an important issue, checking of URLs and dynamic expressions can be turned off (<span class="term">$config["schemes"] = "...style&#58;&#42;..."</span>, see <a href="#s3.4.3">section 3.4.3</a>, and <span class="term">$config["css_expression"] = 0</span>). Alternately, admins can use their own custom function for finer handling of <span class="term">style</span>&#160;values through the <span class="term">hook_tag</span>&#160;parameter (see <a href="#s3.4.9">section 3.4.9</a>).<br />
-<br />
-&#160; It is also possible to have htmLawed let through any <span class="term">style</span>&#160;value by setting <span class="term">$config["style_pass"]</span>&#160;to <span class="term">1</span>.<br />
-<br />
-&#160; As such, it is better to set up a CSS file with class declarations, disallow the <span class="term">style</span>&#160;attribute, set a <span class="term">$spec</span>&#160;rule (see <a href="#s2.3">section 2.3</a>) for <span class="term">class</span>&#160;for the <span class="term">oneof</span>&#160;or <span class="term">match</span>&#160;parameter, and ask writers to make use of the <span class="term">class</span>&#160;attribute.<br />

-<a name="s3.4.9" id="s3.4.9"></a><span class="item-no">3.4.9</span>&#160; Hook function for tag content
-</h3><span class="totop"><a href="#peak">(to top)</a></span><br style="clear: both;" />
-<br />
-&#160; It is possible to utilize a custom hook function to alter the tag content htmLawed has finalized (i.e., after it has checked/corrected for required attributes, transformed attributes, lower-cased attribute names, etc.).<br />
-<br />
-&#160; When <span class="term">$config</span>&#160;parameter <span class="term">hook_tag</span>&#160;is set to the name of a function, htmLawed (function <span class="term">hl_tag()</span>) will pass on the element name, and, in the case of an opening tag, the <em>finalized</em>&#160;attribute name-value pairs as array elements to the function. The function, after completing a task such as filtering or tag transformation, will typically return an empty string, the full opening tag string like <span class="term">&lt;element_name attribute_1_name="attribute_1_value"...&gt;</span>&#160;(for empty elements like <span class="term">img</span>&#160;and <span class="term">input</span>, the element-closing slash <span class="term">/</span>&#160;should also be included), etc.<br />
-<br />
-&#160; Any <span class="term">hook_tag</span>&#160;function, since htmLawed version 1.1.11, also receives names of elements in closing tags, such as <span class="term">a</span>&#160;in the closing <span class="term">&lt;/a&gt;</span>&#160;tag of the element <span class="term">&lt;a href="http&#58;//cnn.com"&gt;CNN&lt;/a&gt;</span>. Unlike for opening tags, no other value (i.e., the attribute name-value array) is passed to the function since a closing tag contains only element names. Typically, the function will return an empty string or a full closing tag (like <span class="term">&lt;/a&gt;</span>).<br />
-<br />
-&#160; This is a <strong>powerful functionality</strong>&#160;that can be exploited for various objectives: consolidate-and-convert inline <span class="term">style</span>&#160;attributes to <span class="term">class</span>, convert <span class="term">embed</span>&#160;elements to <span class="term">object</span>, permit only one <span class="term">caption</span>&#160;element in a <span class="term">table</span>&#160;element, disallow embedding of certain types of media, <strong>inject HTML</strong>, use <a href="http://csstidy.sourceforge.net">CSSTidy</a>&#160;to sanitize <span class="term">style</span>&#160;attribute values, etc.<br />
-<br />
-&#160; As an example, the custom hook code below can be used to force a series of specifically ordered <span class="term">id</span>&#160;attributes on all elements, and a specific <span class="term">param</span>&#160;element inside all <span class="term">object</span>&#160;elements:<br />

This allows one to pass the <span class="term">$config</span>&#160;argument with a simpler value. If a value for a parameter auto-set through <span class="term">valid_xhtml</span>&#160;is still manually provided, then that value will over-ride the auto-set value.<br />

-</h3><span class="totop"><a href="#peak">(to top)</a></span><br style="clear: both;" />
-<br />
-&#160; <em>Safe</em>&#160;HTML refers to HTML that is restricted to reduce the vulnerability for scripting attacks (such as XSS) based on HTML code which otherwise may still be legal and compliant with the HTML standard specs. When elements such as <span class="term">script</span>&#160;and <span class="term">object</span>, and attributes such as <span class="term">onmouseover</span>&#160;and <span class="term">style</span>&#160;are allowed in the input text, an input writer can introduce malevolent HTML code. Note that what is considered <span class="term">safe</span>&#160;depends on the nature of the web application and the trust-level accorded to its users.<br />
-<br />
-&#160; htmLawed allows an admin to use <span class="term">$config["safe"]</span>&#160;to auto-adjust multiple <span class="term">$config</span>&#160;parameters (such as <span class="term">elements</span>&#160;which declares the allowed element-set), which otherwise would have to be manually set. The relevant parameters are indicated by <span class="term">"</span>&#160;in <a href="#s2.2">section 2.2</a>). Thus, one can pass the <span class="term">$config</span>&#160;argument with a simpler value.<br />
-<br />
-&#160; With the value of <span class="term">1</span>, htmLawed considers <span class="term">CDATA</span>&#160;sections and HTML comments as plain text, and prohibits the <span class="term">applet</span>, <span class="term">embed</span>, <span class="term">iframe</span>, <span class="term">object</span>&#160;and <span class="term">script</span>&#160;elements, and the <span class="term">on&#42;</span>&#160;attributes like <span class="term">onclick</span>. ( There are <span class="term">$config</span>&#160;parameters like <span class="term">css_expression</span>&#160;that are not affected by the value set for <span class="term">safe</span>&#160;but whose default values still contribute towards a more <em>safe</em>&#160;output.) Further, URLs with schemes (see <a href="#s3.4.3">section 3.4.3</a>) are neutralized so that, e.g., <span class="term">style="moz-binding&#58;url(http&#58;//danger)"</span>&#160;becomes <span class="term">style="moz-binding&#58;url(denied&#58;http&#58;//danger)"</span>.<br />
-<br />
-&#160; Admins, however, may still want to completely deny the <span class="term">style</span>&#160;attribute, e.g., with code like<br />
-<br />
-
-<code class="code">&#160; &#160; $processed = htmLawed($text, array(&#39;safe&#39;=&gt;1, &#39;deny_attribute&#39;=&gt;&#39;style&#39;));</code>
-<br />
-<br />
-&#160; Permitting the <span class="term">style</span>&#160;attribute brings in risks of <em>click-jacking</em>, etc. CSS property values can render a page non-functional or be used to deface it. Except for URLs, dynamic expressions, and some other things, htmLawed does not completely check <span class="term">style</span>&#160;values. It does provide ways for the code-developer implementing htmLawed to do such checks through the <span class="term">$spec</span>&#160;argument, and through the <span class="term">hook_tag</span>&#160;parameter (see <a href="#s3.4.8">section 3.4.8</a>&#160;for more). Disallowing style completely and relying on CSS classes and stylesheet files is recommended.<br />
-<br />
-&#160; If a value for a parameter auto-set through <span class="term">safe</span>&#160;is still manually provided, then that value can over-ride the auto-set value. E.g., with <span class="term">$config["safe"] = 1</span>&#160;and <span class="term">$config["elements"] = "&#42;+script"</span>, <span class="term">script</span>, but not <span class="term">applet</span>, is allowed.<br />

-<br />
-&#160; If <span class="term">$config["hook"]</span>&#160;is not set to <span class="term">0</span>, then htmLawed will allow preliminarily processed input to be altered by a hook function named by <span class="term">$config["hook"]</span>&#160;before starting the main work (but after handling of characters, entities, HTML comments and <span class="term">CDATA</span>&#160;sections -- see code for function <span class="term">htmLawed()</span>).<br />
-<br />
-&#160; The hook function also allows one to alter the <em>finalized</em>&#160;values of <span class="term">$config</span>&#160;and <span class="term">$spec</span>.<br />
-<br />
-&#160; Note that the <span class="term">hook</span>&#160;parameter is different from the <span class="term">hook_tag</span>&#160;parameter (<a href="#s3.4.9">section 3.4.9</a>).<br />

-<br />
-&#160; htmLawed can assign the <em>finalized</em>&#160;<span class="term">$config</span>&#160;and <span class="term">$spec</span>&#160;values to a variable named by <span class="term">$config["show_setting"]</span>. The variable, made global by htmLawed, is set as an array with three keys: <span class="term">config</span>, with the <span class="term">$config</span>&#160;value, <span class="term">spec</span>, with the <span class="term">$spec</span>&#160;value, and <span class="term">time</span>, with a value that is the Unix time (the output of PHP's <span class="term">microtime()</span>&#160;function) when the value was assigned. Admins should use a PHP-compliant variable name (e.g., one that does not begin with a numerical digit) that does not conflict with variable names in their non-htmLawed code.<br />
-<br />
-&#160; The values, which are also post-hook function (if any), can be used to auto-generate information (on, e.g., the elements that are permitted) for input writers.<br />

-</h3><span class="totop"><a href="#peak">(to top)</a></span><br style="clear: both;" />
-<br />
-&#160; htmLawed does not remove certain characters that though invalid are nevertheless discouraged in HTML documents as per the specs (see <a href="#s5.1">section 5.1</a>). This can be utilized to deal with input that contains mixed markup. Input that may have HTML markup as well as some other markup that is based on the <span class="term">&lt;</span>, <span class="term">&gt;</span>&#160;and <span class="term">&amp;</span>&#160;characters is considered to have mixed markup. The non-HTML markup can be rather proprietary (like markup for emoticons/smileys), or standard (like MathML or SVG). Or it can be programming code meant for execution/evaluation (such as embedded PHP code).<br />
-<br />
-&#160; To deal with such mixed markup, the input text can be pre-processed to hide the non-HTML markup by specifically replacing the <span class="term">&lt;</span>, <span class="term">&gt;</span>&#160;and <span class="term">&amp;</span>&#160;characters with some of the HTML-discouraged characters (see <a href="#s3.1.2">section 3.1.2</a>). Post-htmLawed processing, the replacements are reverted.<br />
-<br />
-&#160; An example (mixed HTML and PHP code in input text):<br />
-<br />
-
-<code class="code">&#160; &#160; $text = preg_replace(&#39;&#96;&lt;\?php(.+?)\?&gt;&#96;sm&#39;, "\x83?php\\1?\x84", $text);</code>
-<br />
-
-<code class="code">&#160; &#160; $processed = htmLawed($text);</code>
-<br />
-
-<code class="code">&#160; &#160; $processed = preg_replace(&#39;&#96;\x83\?php(.+?)\?\x84&#96;sm&#39;, &#39;&lt;?php$1?&gt;&#39;, $processed);</code>
-<br />
-<br />
-&#160; This code will not work if <span class="term">$config["clean_ms_char"]</span>&#160;is set to <span class="term">1</span>&#160;(<a href="#s3.1">section 3.1</a>), in which case one should instead deploy a hook function (<a href="#s3.7">section 3.7</a>). (htmLawed internally uses certain control characters, code-points <span class="term">1</span>&#160;to <span class="term">7</span>, and use of these characters as markers in the logic of hook functions may cause issues.)<br />
-<br />
-&#160; Admins may also be able to use <span class="term">$config["and_mark"]</span>&#160;to deal with such mixed markup; see <a href="#s3.2">section 3.2</a>.<br />

-</h3><span class="totop"><a href="#peak">(to top)</a></span><br style="clear: both;" />
-<br />
-&#160; Upgrading is as simple as replacing the previous version of <span class="term">htmLawed.php</span>&#160;(assuming it was not modified for customized features). As htmLawed output is almost always used in static documents, upgrading should not affect old, finalized content.<br />
-<br />
-&#160; <strong>Important</strong>&#160; The following upgrades may affect the functionality of a specific htmLawed as indicated by their corresponding notes:<br />
-<br />
-&#160; (1) From version 1.1-1.1.10 to 1.1.11, if a <span class="term">hook_tag</span>&#160;function is in use: In version 1.1.11, elements in closing tags (and not just the opening tags) are also passed to the function. There are no attribute names/values to pass, so a <span class="term">hook_tag</span>&#160;function receives only the element name. The <span class="term">hook_tag</span>&#160;function therefore may have to be edited. See <a href="#s3.4.9">section 3.4.9</a>.<br />
-<br />
-&#160; Old versions of htmLawed may be available online. E.g., for version 1.0, check <a href="http://www.bioinformatics.org/phplabware/downloads/htmLawed1.zip">http://www.bioinformatics.org/phplabware/downloads/htmLawed1.zip</a>, for 1.1.1, htmLawed111.zip, and for 1.1.10, htmLawed1110.zip.<br />

-</h3><span class="totop"><a href="#peak">(to top)</a></span><br style="clear: both;" />
-<br />
-&#160; The HTMLPurifier PHP library by Edward Yang is a very good HTML filtering script that uses object oriented PHP code. Compared to htmLawed, it (as of mid-2009):<br />
-<br />
-&#160; * &#160;does not support PHP versions older than 5.0 (HTMLPurifier dropped PHP 4 support after version 2)<br />
-<br />
-&#160; * &#160;is 15-20 times bigger (scores of files totalling more than 750 kb)<br />
-<br />
-&#160; * &#160;consumes 10-15 times more RAM memory (just including the HTMLPurifier files without calling the filter requires a few MBs of memory)<br />
-<br />
-&#160; * &#160;is expectedly slower<br />
-<br />
-&#160; * &#160;does not allow admins to fully allow all valid HTML (because of incomplete HTML support, it always considers elements like <span class="term">script</span>&#160;illegal)<br />
-<br />
-&#160; * &#160;lacks many of the extra features of htmLawed (like entity conversions and code compaction/beautification)<br />
-<br />
-&#160; * &#160;has poor documentation<br />
-<br />
-&#160; However, HTMLPurifier has finer checks for character encodings and attribute values, and can log warnings and errors. Visit the HTMLPurifier <a href="http://htmlpurifier.org">website</a>&#160;for updated information.<br />

-&#160; An <em>absolute</em>&#160;URL has a <span class="term">protocol</span>&#160;or <span class="term">scheme</span>, a <span class="term">network location</span>&#160;or <span class="term">hostname</span>, and, optional <span class="term">path</span>, <span class="term">parameters</span>, <span class="term">query</span>&#160;and <span class="term">fragment</span>&#160;segments. Thus, an absolute URL has this generic structure:<br />
-<br />
-
-<code class="code">&#160; &#160; (scheme) &#58; (//network location) /(path) ;(parameters) ?(query) #(fragment)</code>
-<br />
-<br />
-&#160; The schemes can only contain letters, digits, <span class="term">+</span>, <span class="term">.</span>&#160;and <span class="term">-</span>. Hostname is the portion after the <span class="term">//</span>&#160;and up to the first <span class="term">/</span>&#160;(if any; else, up to the end) when <span class="term">&#58;</span>&#160;is followed by a <span class="term">//</span>&#160;(e.g., <span class="term">abc.com</span>&#160;in <span class="term">ftp&#58;//abc.com/def</span>); otherwise, it consists of everything after the <span class="term">&#58;</span>&#160;(e.g., <span class="term">def@abc.com</span>&#160;in mailto:def@abc.com').<br />
-<br />
-&#160; <em>Relative</em>&#160;URLs do not have explicit schemes and network locations; such values are inherited from a <em>base</em>&#160;URL.<br />

-<a name="s5.6" id="s5.6"></a><span class="item-no">5.6</span>&#160; Brief on htmLawed code
-</h3><span class="totop"><a href="#peak">(to top)</a></span><br style="clear: both;" />
-<br />
-&#160; Much of the code's logic and reasoning can be understood from the documentation above.<br />
-<br />
-&#160; The <strong>output</strong>&#160;of htmLawed is a text string containing the processed input. There is no custom error tracking.<br />
-<br />
-&#160; <strong>Function arguments</strong>&#160;for htmLawed are:<br />
-<br />
-&#160; * &#160;<span class="term">$in</span>&#160;- 1st argument; a text string; the <strong>input text</strong>&#160;to be processed. Any extraneous slashes added by PHP when <em>magic quotes</em>&#160;are enabled should be removed beforehand using PHP's <span class="term">stripslashes()</span>&#160;function.<br />
-<br />
-&#160; * &#160;<span class="term">$config</span>&#160;- 2nd argument; an associative array; optional (named <span class="term">$C</span>&#160;in htmLawed code). The array has keys with names like <span class="term">balance</span>&#160;and <span class="term">keep_bad</span>, and the values, which can be boolean, string, or array, depending on the key, are read to accordingly set the <strong>configurable parameters</strong>&#160;(indicated by the keys). All configurable parameters receive some default value if the value to be used is not specified by the user through <span class="term">$config</span>. <em>Finalized</em>&#160;<span class="term">$config</span>&#160;is thus a filtered and possibly larger array.<br />
-<br />
-&#160; * &#160;<span class="term">$spec</span>&#160;- 3rd argument; a text string; optional. The string has rules, written in an htmLawed-designated format, <strong>specifying</strong>&#160;element-specific attribute and attribute value restrictions. Function <span class="term">hl_spec()</span>&#160;is used to convert the string to an associative-array for internal use. <em>Finalized</em>&#160;<span class="term">$spec</span>&#160;is thus an array.<br />
-<br />
-&#160; <em>Finalized</em>&#160;<span class="term">$config</span>&#160;and <span class="term">$spec</span>&#160;are made <strong>global variables</strong>&#160;while htmLawed is at work. Values of any pre-existing global variables with same names are noted, and their values are restored after htmLawed finishes processing the input (to capture the <em>finalized</em>&#160;values, the <span class="term">show_settings</span>&#160;parameter of <span class="term">$config</span>&#160;should be used). Depending on <span class="term">$config</span>, another global variable <span class="term">hl_Ids</span>, to track <span class="term">id</span>&#160;attribute values for uniqueness, may be set. Unlike the other two variables, this one is not reset (or unset) post-processing.<br />
-<br />
-&#160; Except for the main function <span class="term">htmLawed()</span>&#160;and the functions <span class="term">kses()</span>&#160;and <span class="term">kses_hook()</span>, htmLawed's functions are <strong>name-spaced</strong>&#160;using the <span class="term">hl_</span>&#160;prefix. The <strong>functions</strong>&#160;and their roles are:<br />
-<br />
-&#160; * &#160;<span class="term">hl_attrval</span>&#160;- checking attribute values against $spec<br />
-&#160; * &#160;<span class="term">hl_bal</span>&#160;- tag balancing<br />
-&#160; * &#160;<span class="term">hl_cmtcd</span>&#160;- handling CDATA sections and HTML comments<br />
-&#160; * &#160;<span class="term">hl_ent</span>&#160;- entity handling<br />
-&#160; * &#160;<span class="term">hl_prot</span>&#160;- checking a URL scheme/protocol<br />
-&#160; * &#160;<span class="term">hl_regex</span>&#160;- checking syntax of a regular expression<br />
-&#160; * &#160;<span class="term">hl_spec</span>&#160;- converting user-supplied $spec value to one used by htmLawed internally<br />
-&#160; * &#160;<span class="term">hl_tag</span>&#160;- handling tags<br />
-&#160; * &#160;<span class="term">hl_tag2</span>&#160;- transforming tags<br />
-&#160; * &#160;<span class="term">hl_tidy</span>&#160;- compact/beautify HTML<br />
-&#160; * &#160;<span class="term">hl_version</span>&#160;- reporting htmLawed version<br />
-&#160; * &#160;<span class="term">htmLawed</span>&#160;- main function<br />
-&#160; * &#160;<span class="term">kses</span>&#160;- main function of <span class="term">kses</span><br />
-&#160; * &#160;<span class="term">kses_hook</span>&#160;- hook function of <span class="term">kses</span><br />
-<br />
-&#160; The last two are for compatibility with pre-existing code using the <span class="term">kses</span>&#160;script. htmLawed's <span class="term">kses()</span>&#160;basically passes on the filtering task to <span class="term">htmLawed()</span>&#160;function after deciphering <span class="term">$config</span>&#160;and <span class="term">$spec</span>&#160;from the argument values supplied to it. <span class="term">kses_hook()</span>&#160;is an empty function and is meant for being filled with custom code if the <span class="term">kses</span>&#160;script users were using one.<br />
-<br />
-&#160; <span class="term">htmLawed()</span>&#160;finalizes <span class="term">$spec</span>&#160;(with the help of <span class="term">hl_spec()</span>) and <span class="term">$config</span>, and globalizes them. Finalization of <span class="term">$config</span>&#160;involves setting default values if an inappropriate or invalid one is supplied. This includes calling <span class="term">hl_regex()</span>&#160;to check well-formedness of regular expression patterns if such expressions are user-supplied through <span class="term">$config</span>. <span class="term">htmLawed()</span>&#160;then removes invalid characters like nulls and <span class="term">x01</span>&#160;and appropriately handles entities using <span class="term">hl_ent()</span>. HTML comments and CDATA sections are identified and treated as per <span class="term">$config</span>&#160;with the help of <span class="term">hl_cmtcd()</span>. When retained, the <span class="term">&lt;</span>&#160;and <span class="term">&gt;</span>&#160;characters identifying them, and the <span class="term">&lt;</span>, <span class="term">&gt;</span>&#160;and <span class="term">&amp;</span>&#160;characters inside them, are replaced with control characters (code-points <span class="term">1</span>&#160;to <span class="term">5</span>) till any tag balancing is completed.<br />
-<br />
-&#160; After this <em>initial processing</em>&#160;<span class="term">htmLawed()</span>&#160;identifies tags using regex and processes them with the help of <span class="term">hl_tag()</span>&#160;-- &#160;a large function that analyzes tag content, filtering it as per HTML standards, <span class="term">$config</span>&#160;and <span class="term">$spec</span>. Among other things, <span class="term">hl_tag()</span>&#160;transforms deprecated elements using <span class="term">hl_tag2()</span>, removes attributes from closing tags, checks attribute values as per <span class="term">$spec</span>&#160;rules using <span class="term">hl_attrval()</span>, and checks URL protocols using <span class="term">hl_prot()</span>. <span class="term">htmLawed()</span>&#160;performs tag balancing and nesting checks with a call to <span class="term">hl_bal()</span>, and optionally compacts/beautifies the output with proper white-spacing with a call to <span class="term">hl_tidy()</span>. The latter temporarily replaces white-space, and <span class="term">&lt;</span>, <span class="term">&gt;</span>&#160;and <span class="term">&amp;</span>&#160;characters inside <span class="term">pre</span>, <span class="term">script</span>&#160;and <span class="term">textarea</span>&#160;elements, and HTML comments and CDATA sections with control characters (code-points <span class="term">1</span>&#160;to <span class="term">5</span>, and <span class="term">7</span>).<br />
-<br />
-&#160; htmLawed permits the use of custom code or <strong>hook functions</strong>&#160;at two stages. The first, called inside <span class="term">htmLawed()</span>, allows the input text as well as the finalized $config and $spec values to be altered right after the initial processing (see <a href="#s3.7">section 3.7</a>). The second is called by <span class="term">hl_tag()</span>&#160;once the tag content is finalized (see <a href="#s3.4.9">section 3.4.9</a>).<br />
-<br />
-&#160; Being dictated by the external and stable HTML standard, htmLawed's objective is very clear-cut and less concerned with tweakability. The code is only minimally annotated with comments -- it is not meant to instruct; PHP developers familiar with the HTML specs will see the logic, and others can always refer to the htmLawed documentation. The compact structuring of the statements is meant to aid in quickly grasping the logic, at least when viewed with code syntax highlighted.

+</h2><span class="totop"><a href="#peak">(to top)</a></span><br style="clear: both;" />
+<br />
+&#160; htmLawed is a PHP script to process text with HTML markup to make it more compliant with HTML standards and administrative policies. It works by making HTML well-formed with balanced and properly nested tags, neutralizing code that may be used for cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks, allowing only specified HTML tags and attributes, and so on. Such <em>lawing in</em>&#160;of HTML in text used in (X)HTML or XML documents ensures that it is in accordance with the aesthetics, safety and usability requirements set by administrators.<br />
+<br />
+&#160; htmLawed is highly customizable, and fast with low memory usage. Its free and open-source code is in one small file, does not require extensions or libraries, and works in older versions of PHP as well. It is a good alternative to the HTML <a href="http://tidy.sourceforge.net">Tidy</a>&#160;application.<br />

+<br />
+&#160; * &#160;Filtering of text submitted as comments on blogs to allow only certain HTML elements<br />
+<br />
+&#160; * &#160;Making RSS/Atom newsfeed item-content standard-compliant: often one uses an excerpt from an HTML document for the content, and with unbalanced tags, non-numerical entities, etc., such excerpts may not be XML-compliant<br />
+<br />
+&#160; * &#160;Text processing for stricter XML standard-compliance: e.g., to have lowercased <span class="term">x</span>&#160;in hexadecimal numeric entities becomes necessary if an XHTML document with MathML content needs to be served as <span class="term">application/xml</span><br />
+<br />
+&#160; * &#160;Scraping text or data from web-pages<br />
+<br />
+&#160; * &#160;Pretty-printing HTML code<br />

+</h3><span class="totop"><a href="#peak">(to top)</a></span><br style="clear: both;" />
+<br />
+&#160; htmLawed was created in 2007 for use with <span class="term">LabWiki</span>, a wiki software developed at PHP Labware, as a suitable software could not be found. Existing PHP software like <span class="term">Kses</span>&#160;and <span class="term">HTMLPurifier</span>&#160;were deemed inadequate, slow, resource-intensive, or dependent on an extension or external application like <span class="term">HTML Tidy</span>. The core logic of htmLawed, that of identifying HTML elements and attributes, was based on the <span class="term">Kses</span>&#160;(version 0.2.2) HTML filter software of Ulf Harnhammar (it can still be used with code that uses <span class="term">Kses</span>; see <a href="#s2.6">section 2.6</a>.).<br />
+<br />
+&#160; See <a href="#s4.3">section 4.3</a>&#160;for a detailed log of changes in htmLawed over the years, and <a href="#s4.10">section 4.10</a>&#160;for acknowledgements.<br />

+<br />
+&#160; htmLawed works in PHP version 4.4 or higher. Either <span class="term">include()</span>&#160;the <span class="term">htmLawed.php</span>&#160;file, or copy-paste the entire code. To use with PHP 4.3, have the following code included:<br />
+<br />
+
+<code class="code">&#160; &#160; if(!function_exists(&#39;ctype_digit&#39;)){</code>
+<br />
+

+<br />
+&#160; The input text to be processed, <span class="term">$text</span>, is passed as an argument of type string; <span class="term">htmLawed()</span>&#160;returns the processed string:<br />
+<br />
+
+<code class="code">&#160; &#160; $processed = htmLawed($text);</code>
+<br />
+<br />
+&#160; With the <span class="term">htmLawed class</span>&#160;(<a href="#s1.6">section 1.6</a>), usage is:<br />
+<br />
+
+<code class="code">&#160; &#160; $processed = htmLawed&#58;&#58;hl($text);</code>
+<br />
+<br />
+&#160; <strong>Notes</strong>: (1) If input is from a <span class="term">$_GET</span>&#160;or <span class="term">$_POST</span>&#160;value, and <span class="term">magic quotes</span>&#160;are enabled on the PHP setup, run <span class="term">stripslashes()</span>&#160;on the input before passing to htmLawed. (2) htmLawed does not have support for head-level elements, <span class="term">body</span>, and the frame-level elements, <span class="term">frameset</span>, <span class="term">frame</span>&#160;and <span class="term">noframes</span>.<br />
+<br />
+&#160; By default, htmLawed will process the text allowing all valid HTML elements/tags, secure URL scheme/CSS style properties, etc. It will allow <span class="term">CDATA</span>&#160;sections and HTML comments, balance tags, and ensure proper nesting of elements. Such actions can be configured using two other optional arguments -- <span class="term">$config</span>&#160;and <span class="term">$spec</span>:<br />
+<br />
+
+<code class="code">&#160; &#160; $processed = htmLawed($text, $config, $spec);</code>
+<br />
+<br />
+&#160; The <span class="term">$config</span>&#160;and <span class="term">$spec</span>&#160;arguments are detailed below. Some examples are shown in <a href="#s2.9">section 2.9</a>. For maximum protection against <span class="term">XSS</span>&#160;and other scripting attacks (e.g., by disallowing Javascript code), consider using the <span class="term">safe</span>&#160;parameter; see <a href="#s3.6">section 3.6</a>.<br />

+<br />
+&#160; <span class="term">$config</span>&#160;instructs htmLawed on how to tackle certain tasks. When <span class="term">$config</span>&#160;is not specified, or not set as an array (e.g., <span class="term">$config = 1</span>), htmLawed will take default actions. One or many of the task-action or value-specification pairs can be specified in <span class="term">$config</span>&#160;as array key-value pairs. If a parameter is not specified, htmLawed will use the default value/action indicated further below.<br />

+<a name="s2.3" id="s2.3"></a><span class="item-no">2.3</span>&#160; Extra HTML specifications using the $spec parameter
+</h3><span class="totop"><a href="#peak">(to top)</a></span><br style="clear: both;" />
+<br />
+&#160; The <span class="term">$spec</span>&#160;argument of htmLawed can be used to disallow an otherwise legal attribute for an element, or to restrict the attribute's values. This can also be helpful as a security measure (e.g., in certain versions of browsers, certain values can cause buffer overflows and denial of service attacks), or in enforcing admin policies. <span class="term">$spec</span>&#160;is specified as a string of text containing one or more <em>rules</em>, with multiple rules separated from each other by a semi-colon (<span class="term">;</span>). E.g.,<br />
+<br />
+
+<code class="code">&#160; &#160; $spec = &#39;i=-&#42;; td, tr=style, id, -&#42;; a=id(match="/[a-z][a-z\d.&#58;\-&#96;"]&#42;/i"/minval=2), href(maxlen=100/minlen=34); img=-width,-alt&#39;;</code>
+<br />
+
+<code class="code">&#160; &#160; $processed = htmLawed($text, $config, $spec);</code>
+<br />
+<br />
+&#160; Or,<br />
+<br />
+
+<code class="code">&#160; &#160; $processed = htmLawed($text, $config, &#39;i=-&#42;; td, tr=style, id, -&#42;; a=id(match="/[a-z][a-z\d.&#58;\-&#96;"]&#42;/i"/minval=2), href(maxlen=100/minlen=34); img=-width,-alt&#39;);</code>
+<br />
+<br />
+&#160; A rule begins with an HTML <strong>element</strong>&#160;name(s) (<em>rule-element</em>), for which the rule applies, followed by an equal (<span class="term">=</span>) sign. A rule-element may represent multiple elements if comma (,)-separated element names are used. E.g., <span class="term">th,td,tr=</span>.<br />
+<br />
+&#160; Rest of the rule consists of comma-separated HTML <strong>attribute names</strong>. A minus (<span class="term">-</span>) character before an attribute means that the attribute is not permitted inside the rule-element. E.g., <span class="term">-width</span>. To deny all attributes, <span class="term">-&#42;</span>&#160;can be used.<br />
+<br />
+&#160; Following shows examples of rule excerpts with rule-element <span class="term">a</span>&#160;and the attributes that are being permitted:<br />
+<br />
+&#160; * &#160;<span class="term">a=</span>&#160;- all<br />
+&#160; * &#160;<span class="term">a=id</span>&#160;- all<br />
+&#160; * &#160;<span class="term">a=href, title, -id, -onclick</span>&#160;- all except <span class="term">id</span>&#160;and <span class="term">onclick</span><br />
+&#160; * &#160;<span class="term">a=&#42;, id, -id</span>&#160;- all except <span class="term">id</span><br />
+&#160; * &#160;<span class="term">a=-&#42;</span>&#160;- none<br />
+&#160; * &#160;<span class="term">a=-&#42;, href, title</span>&#160;- none except <span class="term">href</span>&#160;and <span class="term">title</span><br />
+&#160; * &#160;<span class="term">a=-&#42;, -id, href, title</span>&#160;- none except <span class="term">href</span>&#160;and <span class="term">title</span><br />
+<br />
+&#160; Rules regarding <strong>attribute values</strong>&#160;are optionally specified inside round brackets after attribute names in slash ('/')-separated <em>parameter = value</em>&#160;pairs. E.g., <span class="term">title(maxlen=30/minlen=5)</span>. None or one or more of the following parameters may be specified:<br />
+<br />
+&#160; * &#160;<span class="term">oneof</span>&#160;- one or more choices separated by <span class="term">|</span>&#160;that the value should match; if only one choice is provided, then the value must match that choice<br />
+<br />
+&#160; * &#160;<span class="term">noneof</span>&#160;- one or more choices separated by <span class="term">|</span>&#160;that the value should not match<br />
+<br />
+&#160; * &#160;<span class="term">maxlen</span>&#160;and <span class="term">minlen</span>&#160;- upper and lower limits for the number of characters in the attribute value; specified in numbers<br />
+<br />
+&#160; * &#160;<span class="term">maxval</span>&#160;and <span class="term">minval</span>&#160;- upper and lower limits for the numerical value specified in the attribute value; specified in numbers<br />
+<br />
+&#160; * &#160;<span class="term">match</span>&#160;and <span class="term">nomatch</span>&#160;- pattern that the attribute value should or should not match; specified as PHP/PCRE-compatible regular expressions with delimiters and possibly modifiers<br />
+<br />
+&#160; * &#160;<span class="term">default</span>&#160;- a value to force on the attribute if the value provided by the writer does not fit any of the specified parameters<br />
+<br />
+&#160; If <span class="term">default</span>&#160;is not set and the attribute value does not satisfy any of the specified parameters, then the attribute is removed. The <span class="term">default</span>&#160;value can also be used to force all attribute declarations to take the same value (by getting the values declared illegal by setting, e.g., <span class="term">maxlen</span>&#160;to <span class="term">-1</span>).<br />
+<br />
+&#160; Examples with <em>input</em>&#160;<span class="term">&lt;input title="WIDTH" value="10em" /&gt;&lt;input title="length" value="5" /&gt;</span>&#160;are shown below.<br />
+<br />
+&#160; <em>Rule</em>: <span class="term">input=title(maxlen=60/minlen=6), value</span><br />
+&#160; <em>Output</em>: <span class="term">&lt;input value="10em" /&gt;&lt;input title="length" value="5" /&gt;</span><br />
+<br />
+&#160; <em>Rule</em>: <span class="term">input=title(), value(maxval=8/default=6)</span><br />
+&#160; <em>Output</em>: <span class="term">&lt;input title="WIDTH" value="6" /&gt;&lt;input title="length" value="5" /&gt;</span><br />
+<br />
+&#160; <em>Rule</em>: <span class="term">input=title(nomatch=%w.d%i), value(match=%em%/default=6em)</span><br />
+&#160; <em>Output</em>: <span class="term">&lt;input value="10em" /&gt;&lt;input title="length" value="6em" /&gt;</span><br />
+<br />
+&#160; <em>Rule</em>: <span class="term">input=title(oneof=height|depth/default=depth), value(noneof=5|6)</span><br />
+&#160; <em>Output</em>: <span class="term">&lt;input title="depth" value="10em" /&gt;&lt;input title="depth" /&gt;</span><br />
+<br />
+&#160; <strong>Special characters</strong>: The characters <span class="term">;</span>, <span class="term">,</span>, <span class="term">/</span>, <span class="term">(</span>, <span class="term">)</span>, <span class="term">|</span>, <span class="term">~</span>&#160;and space have special meanings in the rules. Words in the rules that use such characters, or the characters themselves, should be <em>escaped</em>&#160;by enclosing in pairs of double-quotes (<span class="term">"</span>). A back-tick (<span class="term">&#96;</span>) can be used to escape a literal <span class="term">"</span>. An example rule illustrating this is <span class="term">input=value(maxlen=30/match="/^\w/"/default="your &#96;"ID&#96;"")</span>.<br />
+<br />
+&#160; <strong>Note</strong>: To deny an attribute for all elements for which it is legal, <span class="term">$config["deny_attribute"]</span>&#160;(see <a href="#s3.4">section 3.4</a>) can be used instead of <span class="term">$spec</span>. Also, attributes can be allowed element-specifically through <span class="term">$spec</span>&#160;while being denied globally through <span class="term">$config["deny_attribute"]</span>. The <span class="term">hook_tag</span>&#160;parameter (<a href="#s3.4.9">section 3.4.9</a>) can also be possibly used to implement a functionality like that achieved using <span class="term">$spec</span>&#160;functionality.<br />
+<br />
+&#160; <span class="term">$spec</span>&#160;can also be used to permit custom, non-standard attributes as well as custom rules for standard attributes. Thus, the following value of <span class="term">$spec</span>&#160;will permit the custom uses of the standard <span class="term">rel</span>&#160;attribute in <span class="term">input</span>&#160;(not permitted as per standards) and of a non-standard attribute, <span class="term">vFlag</span>, in <span class="term">img</span>.<br />
+<br />
+
+<code class="code">&#160; &#160; $spec = &#39;img=vFlag; input=rel&#39;</code>

+<br />
+&#160; The time and memory consumed during text processing by htmLawed depends on its configuration, the size of the input, and the amount, nestedness and well-formedness of the HTML markup within the input. In particular, tag balancing and beautification each can increase the processing time by about a quarter.<br />
+<br />

+</h3><span class="totop"><a href="#peak">(to top)</a></span><br style="clear: both;" />
+<br />
+&#160; When setting the parameters/arguments (like those to allow certain HTML elements) for use with htmLawed, one should bear in mind that the setting may let through potentially <em>dangerous</em>&#160;HTML code which is meant to steal user-data, deface a website, render a page non-functional, etc. Unless end-users, either people or software, supplying the content are completely trusted, security issues arising from the degree of HTML usage permitted through htmLawed's setting should be considered. For example, following increase security risks:<br />
+<br />
+&#160; * &#160;Allowing <span class="term">script</span>, <span class="term">applet</span>, <span class="term">embed</span>, <span class="term">iframe</span>&#160;or <span class="term">object</span>&#160;elements, or certain of their attributes like <span class="term">allowscriptaccess</span><br />
+<br />
+&#160; * &#160;Allowing HTML comments (some Internet Explorer versions are vulnerable with, e.g., <span class="term">&lt;!--[if gte IE 4]&gt;&lt;script&gt;alert("xss");&lt;/script&gt;&lt;![endif]--&gt;</span><br />
+<br />
+&#160; * &#160;Allowing dynamic CSS expressions (some Internet Explorer versions are vulnerable)<br />
+<br />
+&#160; * &#160;Allowing the <span class="term">style</span>&#160;attribute<br />
+<br />
+&#160; To remove <em>unsecure</em>&#160;HTML, code-developers using htmLawed must set <span class="term">$config</span>&#160;appropriately. E.g., <span class="term">$config["elements"] = "&#42; -script"</span>&#160;to deny the <span class="term">script</span>&#160;element (<a href="#s3.3">section 3.3</a>), <span class="term">$config["safe"] = 1</span>&#160;to auto-configure ceratin htmLawed parameters for maximizing security (<a href="#s3.6">section 3.6</a>), etc.<br />
+<br />
+&#160; Permitting the <span class="term">&#42;style&#42;</span>&#160;attribute brings in risks of <em>click-jacking</em>, <em>phishing</em>, web-page overlays, etc., <em>even</em>&#160;when the <span class="term">safe</span>&#160;parameter is enabled (see <a href="#s3.6">section 3.6</a>). Except for URLs and a few other things like CSS dynamic expressions, htmLawed currently does not check every CSS style property. It does provide ways for the code-developer implementing htmLawed to do such checks through htmLawed's <span class="term">$spec</span>&#160;argument, and through the <span class="term">hook_tag</span>&#160;parameter (see <a href="#s3.4.8">section 3.4.8</a>&#160;for more). Disallowing <span class="term">style</span>&#160;completely and relying on CSS classes and stylesheet files is recommended.<br />
+<br />
+&#160; htmLawed does not check or correct the character <strong>encoding</strong>&#160;of the input it receives. In conjunction with permissive circumstances, such as when the character encoding is left undefined through HTTP headers or HTML <span class="term">meta</span>&#160;tags, this can allow for an exploit (like Google's <em>UTF-7/XSS</em>&#160;vulnerability of the past).<br />

+<a name="s2.6" id="s2.6"></a><span class="item-no">2.6</span>&#160; Use without modifying old <span class="term">kses()</span>&#160;code
+</h3><span class="totop"><a href="#peak">(to top)</a></span><br style="clear: both;" />
+<br />
+&#160; The <span class="term">Kses</span>&#160;PHP script is used by many applications (like <span class="term">WordPress</span>). It is possible to have such applications use htmLawed instead, since it is compatible with code that calls the <span class="term">kses()</span>&#160;function declared in the <span class="term">Kses</span>&#160;file (usually named <span class="term">kses.php</span>). E.g., application code like this will continue to work after replacing <span class="term">Kses</span>&#160;with htmLawed:<br />
+<br />
+
+<code class="code">&#160; &#160; $comment_filtered = kses($comment_input, array(&#39;a&#39;=&gt;array(), &#39;b&#39;=&gt;array(), &#39;i&#39;=&gt;array()));</code>
+<br />
+<br />
+&#160; For some of the <span class="term">$config</span>&#160;parameters, htmLawed will use values other than the default ones. These are indicated by <span class="term">^</span>&#160;in <a href="#s2.2">section 2.2</a>. To force htmLawed to use other values, function <span class="term">kses()</span>&#160;in the htmLawed code should be edited -- a few configurable parameters/variables need to be changed.<br />
+<br />
+&#160; If the application uses a <span class="term">Kses</span>&#160;file that has the <span class="term">kses()</span>&#160;function declared, then, to have the application use htmLawed instead of <span class="term">Kses</span>, simply rename <span class="term">htmLawed.php</span>&#160;(to <span class="term">kses.php</span>, e.g.) and replace the <span class="term">Kses</span>&#160;file (or just replace the code in the <span class="term">Kses</span>&#160;file with the htmLawed code). If the <span class="term">kses()</span>&#160;function in the <span class="term">Kses</span>&#160;file had been renamed by the application developer (e.g., in <span class="term">WordPress</span>, it is named <span class="term">wp_kses()</span>), then appropriately rename the <span class="term">kses()</span>&#160;function in the htmLawed code.<br />
+<br />
+&#160; If the <span class="term">Kses</span>&#160;file used by the application has been highly altered by the application developers, then one may need a different approach. E.g., with <span class="term">WordPress</span>, it is best to copy the htmLawed code to <span class="term">wp_includes/kses.php</span>, rename the newly added function <span class="term">kses()</span>&#160;to <span class="term">wp_kses()</span>, and delete the code for the original <span class="term">wp_kses()</span>&#160;function.<br />
+<br />
+&#160; If the <span class="term">Kses</span>&#160;code has a non-empty hook function (e.g., <span class="term">wp_kses_hook()</span>&#160;in case of <span class="term">WordPress</span>), then the code for htmLawed's <span class="term">kses_hook()</span>&#160;function should be appropriately edited. However, the requirement of the hook function should be re-evaluated considering that htmLawed has extra capabilities. With <span class="term">WordPress</span>, the hook function is an essential one. The following code is suggested for the htmLawed <span class="term">kses_hook()</span>&#160;in case of <span class="term">WordPress</span>:<br />
+<br />
+
+<code class="code">&#160; &#160; function kses_hook($string, &amp;$cf, &amp;$spec){</code>
+<br />
+
+<code class="code">&#160; &#160; // kses compatibility</code>

+</h3><span class="totop"><a href="#peak">(to top)</a></span><br style="clear: both;" />
+<br />
+&#160; htmLawed can work with ill-written HTML code in the input. However, HTML that is too ill-written may not be <em>read</em>&#160;as HTML, and may therefore get identified as mere plain text. Following statements indicate the degree of <em>looseness</em>&#160;that htmLawed can work with, and can be provided in instructions to writers:<br />
+<br />
+&#160; * &#160;Tags must be flanked by <span class="term">&lt;</span>&#160;and <span class="term">&gt;</span>&#160;with no <span class="term">&gt;</span>&#160;inside -- any needed <span class="term">&gt;</span>&#160;should be put in as <span class="term">&amp;gt;</span>. It is possible for tag content (element name and attributes) to be spread over many lines instead of being on one. A space may be present between the tag content and <span class="term">&gt;</span>, like <span class="term">&lt;div &gt;</span>&#160;and <span class="term">&lt;img / &gt;</span>, but not after the <span class="term">&lt;</span>.<br />
+<br />
+&#160; * &#160;Element and attribute names need not be lower-cased.<br />
+<br />
+&#160; * &#160;Attribute string of elements may be liberally spaced with tabs, line-breaks, etc.<br />
+<br />
+&#160; * &#160;Attribute values may be single- and not double-quoted.<br />
+<br />
+&#160; * &#160;Left-padding of numeric entities (like, <span class="term">&amp;#0160;</span>, <span class="term">&amp;x07ff;</span>) with <span class="term">0</span>&#160;is okay as long as the number of characters between between the <span class="term">&amp;</span>&#160;and the <span class="term">;</span>&#160;does not exceed 8. All entities must end with <span class="term">;</span>&#160;though.<br />
+<br />
+&#160; * &#160;Named character entities must be properly cased. Thus, <span class="term">&amp;Lt;</span>&#160;or <span class="term">&amp;TILDE;</span>&#160;will not be recognized as entities and will be <em>neutralized</em>.<br />
+<br />
+&#160; * &#160;HTML comments should not be inside element tags (they can be between tags), and should begin with <span class="term">&lt;!--</span>&#160;and end with <span class="term">--&gt;</span>. Characters like <span class="term">&lt;</span>, <span class="term">&gt;</span>, and <span class="term">&amp;</span>&#160;may be allowed inside depending on <span class="term">$config</span>, but any <span class="term">--&gt;</span>&#160;inside should be put in as <span class="term">--&amp;gt;</span>. Any <span class="term">--</span>&#160;inside will be automatically converted to <span class="term">-</span>, and a space will be added before the comment delimiter <span class="term">--&gt;</span>.<br />
+<br />
+&#160; * &#160;<span class="term">CDATA</span>&#160;sections should not be inside element tags, and can be in element content only if plain text is allowed for that element. They should begin with <span class="term">&lt;[CDATA[</span>&#160;and end with <span class="term">]]&gt;</span>. Characters like <span class="term">&lt;</span>, <span class="term">&gt;</span>, and <span class="term">&amp;</span>&#160;may be allowed inside depending on <span class="term">$config</span>, but any <span class="term">]]&gt;</span>&#160;inside should be put in as <span class="term">]]&amp;gt;</span>.<br />
+<br />
+&#160; * &#160;For attribute values, character entities <span class="term">&amp;lt;</span>, <span class="term">&amp;gt;</span>&#160;and <span class="term">&amp;amp;</span>&#160;should be used instead of characters <span class="term">&lt;</span>&#160;and <span class="term">&gt;</span>, and <span class="term">&amp;</span>&#160;(when <span class="term">&amp;</span>&#160;is not part of a character entity). This applies even for Javascript code in values of attributes like <span class="term">onclick</span>.<br />
+<br />
+&#160; * &#160;Characters <span class="term">&lt;</span>, <span class="term">&gt;</span>, <span class="term">&amp;</span>&#160;and <span class="term">"</span>&#160;that are part of actual Javascript, etc., code in <span class="term">script</span>&#160;elements should be used as such and not be put in as entities like <span class="term">&amp;gt;</span>. Otherwise, though the HTML will be valid, the code may fail to work. Further, if such characters have to be used, then they should be put inside <span class="term">CDATA</span>&#160;sections.<br />
+<br />
+&#160; * &#160;Simple instructions like "an opening tag cannot be present between two closing tags" and "nested elements should be closed in the reverse order of how they were opened" can help authors write balanced HTML. If tags are imbalanced, htmLawed will try to balance them, but in the process, depending on <span class="term">$config["keep_bad"]</span>, some code/text may be lost.<br />
+<br />
+&#160; * &#160;Input authors should be notified of admin-specified allowed elements, attributes, configuration values (like conversion of named entities to numeric ones), etc.<br />
+<br />
+&#160; * &#160;With <span class="term">$config["unique_ids"]</span>&#160;not <span class="term">0</span>&#160;and the <span class="term">id</span>&#160;attribute being permitted, writers should carefully avoid using duplicate or invalid <span class="term">id</span>&#160;values as even though htmLawed will correct/remove the values, the final output may not be the one desired. E.g., when <span class="term">&lt;a id="home"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;input id="home" /&gt;&lt;label for="home"&gt;&lt;/label&gt;</span>&#160;is processed into<br />
+<span class="term">&lt;a id="home"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;input id="prefix_home" /&gt;&lt;label for="home"&gt;&lt;/label&gt;</span>.<br />
+<br />
+&#160; * &#160;Even if intended HTML is lost from an ill-written input, the processed output will be more secure and standard-compliant.<br />
+<br />
+&#160; * &#160;For URLs, unless <span class="term">$config["scheme"]</span>&#160;is appropriately set, writers should avoid using escape characters or entities in schemes. E.g., <span class="term">htt&amp;#112;</span>&#160;(which many browsers will read as the harmless <span class="term">http</span>) may be considered bad by htmLawed.<br />
+<br />
+&#160; * &#160;htmLawed will attempt to put plain text present directly inside <span class="term">blockquote</span>, <span class="term">form</span>, <span class="term">map</span>&#160;and <span class="term">noscript</span>&#160;elements (illegal as per the specifications) inside auto-generated <span class="term">div</span>&#160;elements.<br />

+<a name="s2.8" id="s2.8"></a><span class="item-no">2.8</span>&#160; Limitations &amp; work-arounds
+</h3><span class="totop"><a href="#peak">(to top)</a></span><br style="clear: both;" />
+<br />
+&#160; htmLawed's main objective is to make the input text <em>more</em>&#160;standard-compliant, secure for readers, and free of HTML elements and attributes considered undesirable by the administrator. Some of its current limitations, regardless of this objective, are noted below along with work-arounds.<br />
+<br />
+&#160; It should be borne in mind that no browser application is 100% standard-compliant, and that some of the standard specifications (like asking for normalization of white-spacing within <span class="term">textarea</span>&#160;elements) are clearly wrong. Regarding security, note that <em>unsafe</em>&#160;HTML code is not legally invalid per se.<br />
+<br />
+&#160; * &#160;htmLawed is meant for input that goes into the <span class="term">body</span>&#160;of HTML documents. HTML's head-level elements are not supported, nor are the frameset elements <span class="term">frameset</span>, <span class="term">frame</span>&#160;and <span class="term">noframes</span>. Content of the latter elements can, however, be individually filtered through htmLawed.<br />
+<br />
+&#160; * &#160;It cannot transform the non-standard <span class="term">embed</span>&#160;elements to the standard-compliant <span class="term">object</span>&#160;elements. Yet, it can allow <span class="term">embed</span>&#160;elements if permitted (<span class="term">embed</span>&#160;is widely used and supported). Admins can certainly use the <span class="term">hook_tag</span>&#160;parameter (<a href="#s3.4.9">section 3.4.9</a>) to deploy a custom embed-to-object converter function.<br />
+<br />
+&#160; * &#160;The only non-standard element that may be permitted is <span class="term">embed</span>; others like <span class="term">noembed</span>&#160;and <span class="term">nobr</span>&#160;cannot be permitted without modifying the htmLawed code.<br />
+<br />
+&#160; * &#160;It cannot handle input that has non-HTML code like <span class="term">SVG</span>&#160;and <span class="term">MathML</span>. One way around is to break the input into pieces and passing only those without non-HTML code to htmLawed. Another is described in <a href="#s3.9">section 3.9</a>. A third way may be to some how take advantage of the <span class="term">$config["and_mark"]</span>&#160;parameter (see <a href="#s3.2">section 3.2</a>).<br />
+<br />
+&#160; * &#160;By default, htmLawed won't check many attribute values for standard compliance. E.g., <span class="term">width="20m"</span>&#160;with the dimension in non-standard <span class="term">m</span>&#160;is let through. Implementing universal and strict attribute value checks can make htmLawed slow and resource-intensive. Admins should look at the <span class="term">hook_tag</span>&#160;parameter (<a href="#s3.4.9">section 3.4.9</a>) or <span class="term">$spec</span>&#160;to enforce finer checks.<br />
+<br />
+&#160; * &#160;The attributes, deprecated (which can be transformed too) or not, that it supports are largely those that are in the specifications. Only a few of the proprietary attributes are supported.<br />
+<br />
+&#160; * &#160;Except for contained URLs and dynamic expressions (also optional), htmLawed does not check CSS style property values. Admins should look at using the <span class="term">hook_tag</span>&#160;parameter (<a href="#s3.4.9">section 3.4.9</a>) or <span class="term">$spec</span>&#160;for finer checks. Perhaps the best option is to disallow <span class="term">style</span>&#160;but allow <span class="term">class</span>&#160;attributes with the right <span class="term">oneof</span>&#160;or <span class="term">match</span>&#160;values for <span class="term">class</span>, and have the various class style properties in <span class="term">.css</span>&#160;CSS stylesheet files.<br />
+<br />
+&#160; * &#160;htmLawed does not parse emoticons, decode <em>BBcode</em>, or <em>wikify</em>, auto-converting text to proper HTML. Similarly, it won't convert line-breaks to <span class="term">br</span>&#160;elements. Such functions are beyond its purview. Admins should use other code to pre- or post-process the input for such purposes.<br />
+<br />
+&#160; * &#160;htmLawed cannot be used to have links force-opened in new windows (by auto-adding appropriate <span class="term">target</span>&#160;and <span class="term">onclick</span>&#160;attributes to <span class="term">a</span>). Admins should look at Javascript-based DOM-modifying solutions for this. Admins may also be able to use a custom hook function to enforce such checks (<span class="term">hook_tag</span>&#160;parameter; see <a href="#s3.4.9">section 3.4.9</a>).<br />
+<br />
+&#160; * &#160;Nesting-based checks are not possible. E.g., one cannot disallow <span class="term">p</span>&#160;elements specifically inside <span class="term">td</span>&#160;while permitting it elsewhere. Admins may be able to use a custom hook function to enforce such checks (<span class="term">hook_tag</span>&#160;parameter; see <a href="#s3.4.9">section 3.4.9</a>).<br />
+<br />
+&#160; * &#160;Except for optionally converting absolute or relative URLs to the other type, htmLawed will not alter URLs (e.g., to change the value of query strings or to convert <span class="term">http</span>&#160;to <span class="term">https</span>. Having absolute URLs may be a standard-requirement, e.g., when HTML is embedded in email messages, whereas altering URLs for other purposes is beyond htmLawed's goals. Admins may be able to use a custom hook function to enforce such checks (<span class="term">hook_tag</span>&#160;parameter; see <a href="#s3.4.9">section 3.4.9</a>).<br />
+<br />
+&#160; * &#160;Pairs of opening and closing tags that do not enclose any content (like <span class="term">&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;</span>) are not removed. This may be against the standard specifications for certain elements (e.g., <span class="term">table</span>). However, presence of such standard-incompliant code will not break the display or layout of content. Admins can also use simple regex-based code to filter out such code.<br />
+<br />
+&#160; * &#160;htmLawed does not check for certain element orderings described in the standard specifications (e.g., in a <span class="term">table</span>, <span class="term">tbody</span>&#160;is allowed before <span class="term">tfoot</span>). Admins may be able to use a custom hook function to enforce such checks (<span class="term">hook_tag</span>&#160;parameter; see <a href="#s3.4.9">section 3.4.9</a>).<br />
+<br />
+&#160; * &#160;htmLawed does not check the number of nested elements. E.g., it will allow two <span class="term">caption</span>&#160;elements in a <span class="term">table</span>&#160;element, illegal as per the specifications. Admins may be able to use a custom hook function to enforce such checks (<span class="term">hook_tag</span>&#160;parameter; see <a href="#s3.4.9">section 3.4.9</a>).<br />
+<br />
+&#160; * &#160;htmLawed might convert certain entities to actual characters and remove backslashes and CSS comment-markers (<span class="term">/&#42;</span>) in <span class="term">style</span>&#160;attribute values in order to detect malicious HTML like crafted IE-specific dynamic expressions like <span class="term">&amp;#101;xpression...</span>. If this is too harsh, admins can allow CSS expressions through htmLawed core but then use a custom function through the <span class="term">hook_tag</span>&#160;parameter (<a href="#s3.4.9">section 3.4.9</a>) to more specifically identify CSS expressions in the <span class="term">style</span>&#160;attribute values. Also, using <span class="term">$config["style_pass"]</span>, it is possible to have htmLawed pass <span class="term">style</span>&#160;attribute values without even looking at them (<a href="#s3.4.8">section 3.4.8</a>).<br />
+<br />
+&#160; * &#160;htmLawed does not correct certain possible attribute-based security vulnerabilities (e.g., <span class="term">&lt;a href="http&#58;//x%22+style=%22background-image&#58;xss"&gt;x&lt;/a&gt;</span>). These arise when browsers mis-identify markup in <em>escaped</em>&#160;text, defeating the very purpose of escaping text (a bad browser will read the given example as <span class="term">&lt;a href="http&#58;//x" style="background-image&#58;xss"&gt;x&lt;/a&gt;</span>).<br />
+<br />
+&#160; * &#160;Because of poor Unicode support in PHP, htmLawed does not remove the <em>high value</em>&#160;HTML-invalid characters with multi-byte code-points. Such characters however are extremely unlikely to be in the input. (see <a href="#s3.1">section 3.1</a>).<br />
+<br />
+&#160; * &#160;htmLawed does not check or correct the character encoding of the input it receives. In conjunction with permitting circumstances such as when the character encoding is left undefined through HTTP headers or HTML <span class="term">meta</span>&#160;tags, this can permit an exploit (like Google's <em>UTF-7/XSS</em>&#160;vulnerability of the past). Also, htmLawed can mangle input text if it is not well-formed in terms of character encoding. Administrators can consider using code available elsewhere to check well-formedness of input text characters to correct any defect.<br />
+<br />
+&#160; * &#160;htmLawed is expected to work with input texts in ASCII-compatible single byte encodings such as national variants of ASCII (like ISO-646-DE/German of the ISO 646 standard), extended ASCII variants (like ISO 8859-10/Turkish of the ISO 8859/ISO Latin standard), ISO 8859-based Windows variants (like Windows 1252), EBCDIC, Shift JIS (Japanese), GB-Roman (Chinese), and KS-Roman (Korean). It should also properly handle texts with variable byte encodings like UTF-7 (Unicode) and UTF-8 (Unicode). However, htmLawed may mangle input texts with double byte encodings like UTF-16 (Unicode), JIS X 0208:1997 (Japanese) and K SX 1001:1992 (Korean), or the UTF-32 (Unicode) quadruple byte encoding. If an input text has such an encoding, administrators can use PHP's <a href="http://php.net/manual/en/book.iconv.php">iconv</a>&#160;functions, or some other mean, to convert text to UTF-8 before passing it to htmLawed.<br />
+<br />
+&#160; * &#160;Like any script using PHP's PCRE regex functions, PHP setup-specific low PCRE limit values can cause htmLawed to at least partially fail with very long input texts.<br />

+<br />
+<br />
+&#160; Some case-studies are presented below.<br />
+<br />
+&#160; <strong>1.</strong>&#160;A blog administrator wants to allow only <span class="term">a</span>, <span class="term">em</span>, <span class="term">strike</span>, <span class="term">strong</span>&#160;and <span class="term">u</span>&#160;in comments, but needs <span class="term">strike</span>&#160;and <span class="term">u</span>&#160;transformed to <span class="term">span</span>&#160;for better XHTML 1-strict compliance, and, he wants the <span class="term">a</span>&#160;links to point only to <span class="term">http</span>&#160;or <span class="term">https</span>&#160;resources:<br />
+<br />
+
+<code class="code">&#160; &#160; $processed = htmLawed($in, array(&#39;elements&#39;=&gt;&#39;a, em, strike, strong, u&#39;, &#39;make_tag_strict&#39;=&gt;1, &#39;safe&#39;=&gt;1, &#39;schemes&#39;=&gt;&#39;&#42;&#58;http, https&#39;), &#39;a=href&#39;);</code>
+<br />
+<br />
+&#160; <strong>2.</strong>&#160;An author uses a custom-made web application to load content on his web-site. He is the only one using that application and the content he generates has all types of HTML, including scripts. The web application uses htmLawed primarily as a tool to correct errors that creep in while writing HTML and to take care of the occasional <em>bad</em>&#160;characters in copy-paste text introduced by Microsoft Office. The web application provides a preview before submitted input is added to the content. For the previewing process, htmLawed is set up as follows:<br />
+<br />
+
+<code class="code">&#160; &#160; $processed = htmLawed($in, array(&#39;css_expression&#39;=&gt;1, &#39;keep_bad&#39;=&gt;1, &#39;make_tag_strict&#39;=&gt;1, &#39;schemes&#39;=&gt;&#39;&#42;&#58;&#42;&#39;, &#39;valid_xhtml&#39;=&gt;1));</code>
+<br />
+<br />
+&#160; For the final submission process, <span class="term">keep_bad</span>&#160;is set to <span class="term">6</span>. A value of <span class="term">1</span>&#160;for the preview process allows the author to note and correct any HTML mistake without losing any of the typed text.<br />
+<br />
+&#160; <strong>3.</strong>&#160;A data-miner is scraping information in a specific table of similar web-pages and is collating the data rows, and uses htmLawed to reduce unnecessary markup and white-spaces:<br />
+<br />
+
+<code class="code">&#160; &#160; $processed = htmLawed($in, array(&#39;elements&#39;=&gt;&#39;tr, td&#39;, &#39;tidy&#39;=&gt;-1), &#39;tr, td =&#39;);</code>

+<br />
+&#160; Valid characters (more correctly, their code-points) in HTML or XML are, hexadecimally, <span class="term">9</span>, <span class="term">a</span>, <span class="term">d</span>, <span class="term">20</span>&#160;to <span class="term">d7ff</span>, and <span class="term">e000</span>&#160;to <span class="term">10ffff</span>, except <span class="term">fffe</span>&#160;and <span class="term">ffff</span>&#160;(decimally, <span class="term">9</span>, <span class="term">10</span>, <span class="term">13</span>, <span class="term">32</span>&#160;to <span class="term">55295</span>, and <span class="term">57344</span>&#160;to <span class="term">1114111</span>, except <span class="term">65534</span>&#160;and <span class="term">65535</span>). htmLawed removes the invalid characters <span class="term">0</span>&#160;to <span class="term">8</span>, <span class="term">b</span>, <span class="term">c</span>, and <span class="term">e</span>&#160;to <span class="term">1f</span>.<br />
+<br />
+&#160; Because of PHP's poor native support for multi-byte characters, htmLawed cannot check for the remaining invalid code-points. However, for various reasons, it is very unlikely for any of those characters to be in the input.<br />
+<br />
+&#160; Characters that are discouraged (see <a href="#s5.1">section 5.1</a>) but not invalid are not removed by htmLawed.<br />
+<br />
+&#160; It (function <span class="term">hl_tag()</span>) also replaces the potentially dangerous (in some Mozilla [Firefox] and Opera browsers) soft-hyphen character (code-point, hexadecimally, <span class="term">ad</span>, or decimally, <span class="term">173</span>) in attribute values with spaces. Where required, the characters <span class="term">&lt;</span>, <span class="term">&gt;</span>, <span class="term">&amp;</span>, and <span class="term">"</span>&#160;are converted to entities.<br />
+<br />
+&#160; With <span class="term">$config["clean_ms_char"]</span>&#160;set as <span class="term">1</span>&#160;or <span class="term">2</span>, many of the discouraged characters (decimal code-points <span class="term">127</span>&#160;to <span class="term">159</span>&#160;except <span class="term">133</span>) that many Microsoft applications incorrectly use (as per the <span class="term">Windows 1252</span>&#160;[<span class="term">Cp-1252</span>] or a similar encoding system), and the character for decimal code-point <span class="term">133</span>, are converted to appropriate decimal numerical entities (or removed for a few cases)-- see appendix in <a href="#s5.4">section 5.4</a>. This can help avoid some display issues arising from copying-pasting of content.<br />
+<br />
+&#160; With <span class="term">$config["clean_ms_char"]</span>&#160;set as <span class="term">2</span>, characters for the hexadecimal code-points <span class="term">82</span>, <span class="term">91</span>, and <span class="term">92</span>&#160;(for special single-quotes), and <span class="term">84</span>, <span class="term">93</span>, and <span class="term">94</span>&#160;(for special double-quotes) are converted to ordinary single and double quotes respectively and not to entities.<br />
+<br />
+&#160; The character values are replaced with entities/characters and not character values referred to by the entities/characters to keep this task independent of the character-encoding of input text.<br />
+<br />
+&#160; The <span class="term">$config["clean_ms_char"]</span>&#160;parameter should not be used if authors do not copy-paste Microsoft-created text, or if the input text is not believed to use the <span class="term">Windows 1252</span>&#160;(<span class="term">Cp-1252</span>) or a similar encoding like <span class="term">Cp-1251</span>&#160;(otherwise, for example when UTF-8 encoding is in use, Japanese or Korean characters can get mangled). Further, the input form and the web-pages displaying it or its content should have the character encoding appropriately marked-up.<br />

+&#160; <em>Neutralization</em>&#160;refers to the <em>entitification</em>&#160;of <span class="term">&amp;</span>&#160;to <span class="term">&amp;amp;</span>.<br />
+<br />
+&#160; <strong>Note</strong>: htmLawed does not convert entities to the actual characters represented by them; one can pass the htmLawed output through PHP's <span class="term">html_entity_decode</span>&#160;<a href="http://www.php.net/html_entity_decode">function</a>&#160;for that.<br />
+<br />
+&#160; <strong>Note</strong>: If <span class="term">$config["and_mark"]</span>&#160;is set, and set to a value other than <span class="term">0</span>, then the <span class="term">&amp;</span>&#160;characters in the original input are replaced with the control character for the hexadecimal code-point <span class="term">6</span>&#160;(<span class="term">\x06</span>; <span class="term">&amp;</span>&#160;characters introduced by htmLawed, e.g., after converting <span class="term">&lt;</span>&#160;to <span class="term">&amp;lt;</span>, are not affected). This allows one to distinguish, say, an <span class="term">&amp;gt;</span>&#160;introduced by htmLawed and an <span class="term">&amp;gt;</span>&#160;put in by the input writer, and can be helpful in further processing of the htmLawed-processed text (e.g., to identify the character sequence <span class="term">o(&gt;&lt;)o</span>&#160;to generate an emoticon image). When this feature is active, admins should ensure that the htmLawed output is not directly used in web pages or XML documents as the presence of the <span class="term">\x06</span>&#160;can break documents. Before use in such documents, and preferably before any storage, any remaining <span class="term">\x06</span>&#160;should be changed back to <span class="term">&amp;</span>, e.g., with:<br />
+<br />
+
+<code class="code">&#160; &#160; $final = str_replace("\x06", &#39;&amp;&#39;, $prelim);</code>

To have elements added to or removed from the default set, a <span class="term">+/-</span>&#160;notation is used.

+&#160; Some more examples of <span class="term">$config["elements"]</span>&#160;values indicating permitted elements (note that empty spaces are liberally allowed for clarity):<br />
+<br />
+&#160; * &#160;<span class="term">a, blockquote, code, em, strong</span>&#160;-- only <span class="term">a</span>, <span class="term">blockquote</span>, <span class="term">code</span>, <span class="term">em</span>, and <span class="term">strong</span><br />
+&#160; * &#160;<span class="term">&#42;-script</span>&#160;-- all excluding <span class="term">script</span><br />
+&#160; * &#160;<span class="term">&#42; -center -dir -font -isindex -menu -s -strike -u</span>&#160;-- only XHTML-Strict elements<br />
+&#160; * &#160;<span class="term">&#42;+noembed-script</span>&#160;-- all including <span class="term">noembed</span>&#160;excluding <span class="term">script</span><br />
+<br />
+&#160; Some mis-usages (and the resulting permitted elements) that can be avoided:<br />
+<br />
+&#160; * &#160;<span class="term">-&#42;</span>&#160;-- none; instead of htmLawed, one might just use, e.g., the <span class="term">htmlspecialchars()</span>&#160;PHP function<br />
+&#160; * &#160;<span class="term">&#42;, -script</span>&#160;-- all except <span class="term">script</span>; admin probably meant <span class="term">&#42;-script</span><br />
+&#160; * &#160;<span class="term">-&#42;, a, em, strong</span>&#160;-- all; admin probably meant <span class="term">a, em, strong</span><br />
+&#160; * &#160;<span class="term">&#42;</span>&#160;-- all; admin need not have set <span class="term">elements</span><br />
+&#160; * &#160;<span class="term">&#42;-form+form</span>&#160;-- all; a <span class="term">+</span>&#160;will always over-ride any <span class="term">-</span><br />
+&#160; * &#160;<span class="term">&#42;, noembed</span>&#160;-- only <span class="term">noembed</span>; admin probably meant <span class="term">&#42;+noembed</span><br />
+&#160; * &#160;<span class="term">a, +b, i</span>&#160;-- only <span class="term">a</span>&#160;and <span class="term">i</span>; admin probably meant <span class="term">a, b, i</span><br />
+<br />
+&#160; Basically, when using the <span class="term">+/-</span>&#160;notation, commas (<span class="term">,</span>) should not be used, and vice versa, and <span class="term">&#42;</span>&#160;should be used with the former but not the latter.<br />
+<br />
+&#160; <strong>Note</strong>: Even if an element that is not in the default set is allowed through <span class="term">$config["elements"]</span>, like <span class="term">noembed</span>&#160;in the last example, it will eventually be removed during tag balancing unless such balancing is turned off (<span class="term">$config["balance"]</span>&#160;set to <span class="term">0</span>). Currently, the only way around this, which actually is simple, is to edit the various arrays in the function <span class="term">hl_bal()</span>&#160;to accommodate the element and its nesting properties.<br />
+<br />
+&#160; <strong>A possibly second way to specify allowed elements</strong>&#160;is to set <span class="term">$config["parent"]</span>&#160;to an element name that supposedly will hold the input, and to set <span class="term">$config["balance"]</span>&#160;to <span class="term">1</span>. During tag balancing (see <a href="#s3.3.3">section 3.3.3</a>), all elements that cannot legally nest inside the parent element will be removed. The parent element is auto-reset to <span class="term">div</span>&#160;if <span class="term">$config["parent"]</span>&#160;is empty, <span class="term">body</span>, or an element not in htmLawed's default set of 86 elements.<br />
+<br />
+&#160; <em>Tag transformation</em>&#160;is possible for improving XHTML-Strict compliance -- most of the deprecated elements are removed or converted to valid XHTML-Strict ones; see <a href="#s3.3.2">section 3.3.2</a>.<br />

+</h4><span class="totop"><a href="#peak">(to top)</a></span><br style="clear: both;" />
+<br />
+&#160; <span class="term">CDATA</span>&#160;sections have the format <span class="term">&lt;![CDATA[...anything but not "]]&gt;"...]]&gt;</span>, and HTML comments, <span class="term">&lt;!--...anything but not "--&gt;"... --&gt;</span>. Neither HTML comments nor <span class="term">CDATA</span>&#160;sections can reside inside tags. HTML comments can exist anywhere else, but <span class="term">CDATA</span>&#160;sections can exist only where plain text is allowed (e.g., immediately inside <span class="term">td</span>&#160;element content but not immediately inside <span class="term">tr</span>&#160;element content).<br />
+<br />
+&#160; htmLawed (function <span class="term">hl_cmtcd()</span>) handles HTML comments or <span class="term">CDATA</span>&#160;sections depending on the values of <span class="term">$config["comment"]</span>&#160;or <span class="term">$config["cdata"]</span>. If <span class="term">0</span>, such markup is not looked for and the text is processed like plain text. If <span class="term">1</span>, it is removed completely. If <span class="term">2</span>, it is preserved but any <span class="term">&lt;</span>, <span class="term">&gt;</span>&#160;and <span class="term">&amp;</span>&#160;inside are changed to entities. If <span class="term">3</span>, they are left as such.<br />
+<br />
+&#160; Note that for the last two cases, HTML comments and <span class="term">CDATA</span>&#160;sections will always be removed from tag content (function <span class="term">hl_tag()</span>).<br />

+&#160; An option like <span class="term">1</span>&#160;is useful, e.g., when a writer previews his submission, whereas one like <span class="term">3</span>&#160;is useful before content is finalized and made available to all.<br />
+<br />
+&#160; <strong>Note:</strong>&#160;In the example above, unlike <span class="term">&lt;&#42;&gt;</span>, <span class="term">&lt;xml&gt;</span>&#160;gets considered as a tag (even though there is no HTML element named <span class="term">xml</span>). Thus, the <span class="term">keep_bad</span>&#160;parameter's value affects <span class="term">&lt;xml&gt;</span>&#160;but not <span class="term">&lt;&#42;&gt;</span>. In general, text matching the regular expression pattern <span class="term">&lt;(/?)([a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z1-6]&#42;)([^&gt;]&#42;?)\s?&gt;</span>&#160;is considered a tag (phrase enclosed by the angled brackets <span class="term">&lt;</span>&#160;and <span class="term">&gt;</span>, and starting [with an optional slash preceding] with an alphanumeric word that starts with an alphabet...), and is subjected to the <span class="term">keep_bad</span>&#160;value.<br />
+<br />
+&#160; Nesting/content rules for each of the 86 elements in htmLawed's default set (see <a href="#s3.3">section 3.3</a>) are defined in function <span class="term">hl_bal()</span>. This means that if a non-standard element besides <span class="term">embed</span>&#160;is being permitted through <span class="term">$config["elements"]</span>, the element's tag content will end up getting removed if <span class="term">$config["balance"]</span>&#160;is set to <span class="term">1</span>.<br />
+<br />
+&#160; Plain text and/or certain elements nested inside <span class="term">blockquote</span>, <span class="term">form</span>, <span class="term">map</span>&#160;and <span class="term">noscript</span>&#160;need to be in block-level elements. This point is often missed during manual writing of HTML code. htmLawed attempts to address this during balancing. E.g., if the parent container is set as <span class="term">form</span>, the input <span class="term">B&#58;&lt;input type="text" value="b" /&gt;C&#58;&lt;input type="text" value="c" /&gt;</span>&#160;is converted to <span class="term">&lt;div&gt;B&#58;&lt;input type="text" value="b" /&gt;C&#58;&lt;input type="text" value="c" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</span>.<br />

+<br />
+&#160; As per specs, the following elements require legal child elements nested inside them:<br />
+<br />
+
+<code class="code">&#160; &#160; blockquote, dir, dl, form, map, menu, noscript, ol, optgroup, rbc, rtc, ruby, select, table, tbody, tfoot, thead, tr, ul</code>
+<br />
+<br />
+&#160; In some cases, the specs stipulate the number and/or the ordering of the child elements. A <span class="term">table</span>&#160;can have 0 or 1 <span class="term">caption</span>, <span class="term">tbody</span>, <span class="term">tfoot</span>, and <span class="term">thead</span>, but they must be in this order: <span class="term">caption</span>, <span class="term">thead</span>, <span class="term">tfoot</span>, <span class="term">tbody</span>.<br />
+<br />
+&#160; htmLawed currently does not check for conformance to these rules. Note that any non-compliance in this regard will not introduce security vulnerabilities, crash browser applications, or affect the rendering of web-pages.<br />
+<br />
+&#160; With <span class="term">$config["direct_list_nest"]</span>&#160;set to <span class="term">1</span>, htmLawed will allow direct nesting of an <span class="term">ol</span>&#160;or <span class="term">ul</span>&#160;list within another <span class="term">ol</span>&#160;or <span class="term">ul</span>&#160;without requiring the child list to be within an <span class="term">li</span>&#160;of the parent list. While this is not standard-compliant, directly nested lists are rendered properly by almost all browsers. The parameter <span class="term">$config["direct_list_nest"]</span>&#160;has no effect if tag-balancing (<a href="#s3.3.3">section 3.3.3</a>) is turned off.<br />

+</h3><span class="totop"><a href="#peak">(to top)</a></span><br style="clear: both;" />
+<br />
+&#160; By default, htmLawed will neither <em>beautify</em>&#160;HTML code by formatting it with indentations, etc., nor will it make it compact by removing un-needed white-space.(It does always properly white-space tag content.)<br />
+<br />
+&#160; As per the HTML standards, spaces, tabs and line-breaks in web-pages (except those inside <span class="term">pre</span>&#160;elements) are all considered equivalent, and referred to as <em>white-spaces</em>. Browser applications are supposed to consider contiguous white-spaces as just a single space, and to disregard white-spaces trailing opening tags or preceding closing tags. This white-space <em>normalization</em>&#160;allows the use of text/code beautifully formatted with indentations and line-spacings for readability. Such <em>pretty</em>&#160;HTML can, however, increase the size of web-pages, or make the extraction or scraping of plain text cumbersome.<br />
+<br />
+&#160; With the <span class="term">$config</span>&#160;parameter <span class="term">tidy</span>, htmLawed can be used to beautify or compact the input text. Input with just plain text and no HTML markup is also subject to this. Besides <span class="term">pre</span>, the <span class="term">script</span>&#160;and <span class="term">textarea</span>&#160;elements, CDATA sections, and HTML comments are not subjected to the tidying process.<br />
+<br />
+&#160; To <em>compact</em>, use <span class="term">$config["tidy"] = -1</span>; single instances or runs of white-spaces are replaced with a single space, and white-spaces trailing and leading open and closing tags, respectively, are removed.<br />
+<br />
+&#160; To <em>beautify</em>, <span class="term">$config["tidy"]</span>&#160;is set as <span class="term">1</span>, or for customized tidying, as a string like <span class="term">2s2n</span>. The <span class="term">s</span>&#160;or <span class="term">t</span>&#160;character specifies the use of spaces or tabs for indentation. The first and third characters, any of the digits 0-9, specify the number of spaces or tabs per indentation, and any parental lead spacing (extra indenting of the whole block of input text). The <span class="term">r</span>&#160;and <span class="term">n</span>&#160;characters are used to specify line-break characters: <span class="term">n</span>&#160;for <span class="term">\n</span>&#160;(Unix/Mac OS X line-breaks), <span class="term">rn</span>&#160;or <span class="term">nr</span>&#160;for <span class="term">\r\n</span>&#160;(Windows/DOS line-breaks), or <span class="term">r</span>&#160;for <span class="term">\r</span>.<br />
+<br />
+&#160; The <span class="term">$config["tidy"]</span>&#160;value of <span class="term">1</span>&#160;is equivalent to <span class="term">2s0n</span>. Other <span class="term">$config["tidy"]</span>&#160;values are read loosely: a value of <span class="term">4</span>&#160;is equivalent to <span class="term">4s0n</span>; <span class="term">t2</span>, to <span class="term">1t2n</span>; <span class="term">s</span>, to <span class="term">2s0n</span>; <span class="term">2TR</span>, to <span class="term">2t0r</span>; <span class="term">T1</span>, to <span class="term">1t1n</span>; <span class="term">nr3</span>, to <span class="term">3s0nr</span>, and so on. Except in the indentations and line-spacings, runs of white-spaces are replaced with a single space during beautification.<br />
+<br />
+&#160; Input formatting using <span class="term">$config["tidy"]</span>&#160;is not recommended when input text has mixed markup (like HTML + PHP).<br />

+</h3><span class="totop"><a href="#peak">(to top)</a></span><br style="clear: both;" />
+<br />
+&#160; htmLawed will only permit attributes described in the HTML specs (including deprecated ones). It also permits some attributes for use with the <span class="term">embed</span>&#160;element (the non-standard <span class="term">embed</span>&#160;element is supported in htmLawed because of its widespread use), and the the <span class="term">xml&#58;space</span>&#160;attribute (valid only in XHTML 1.1). A list of such 111 attributes and the elements they are allowed in is in <a href="#s5.2">section 5.2</a>. Using the <span class="term">$spec</span>&#160;argument, htmLawed can be forced to permit custom, non-standard attributes as well as custom rules for standard attributes (<a href="#s2.3">section 2.3</a>).<br />
+<br />
+&#160; When <span class="term">$config["deny_attribute"]</span>&#160;is not set, or set to <span class="term">0</span>, or empty (<span class="term">""</span>), all the 111 attributes are permitted. Otherwise, <span class="term">$config["deny_attribute"]</span>&#160;can be set as a list of comma-separated names of the denied attributes. <span class="term">on&#42;</span>&#160;can be used to refer to the group of potentially dangerous, script-accepting attributes: <span class="term">onblur</span>, <span class="term">onchange</span>, <span class="term">onclick</span>, <span class="term">ondblclick</span>, <span class="term">onfocus</span>, <span class="term">onkeydown</span>, <span class="term">onkeypress</span>, <span class="term">onkeyup</span>, <span class="term">onmousedown</span>, <span class="term">onmousemove</span>, <span class="term">onmouseout</span>, <span class="term">onmouseover</span>, <span class="term">onmouseup</span>, <span class="term">onreset</span>, <span class="term">onselect</span>&#160;and <span class="term">onsubmit</span>.<br />
+<br />
+&#160; Note that attributes specified in <span class="term">$config["deny_attribute"]</span>&#160;are denied globally, for all elements. To deny attributes for only specific elements, <span class="term">$spec</span>&#160;(see <a href="#s2.3">section 2.3</a>) can be used. <span class="term">$spec</span>&#160;can also be used to element-specifically permit an attribute otherwise denied through <span class="term">$config["deny_attribute"]</span>.<br />
+<br />
+&#160; With <span class="term">$config["safe"] = 1</span>&#160;(<a href="#s3.6">section 3.6</a>), the <span class="term">on&#42;</span>&#160;attributes are automatically disallowed.<br />
+<br />
+&#160; <strong>Note</strong>: To deny all but a few attributes globally, a simpler way to specify <span class="term">$config["deny_attribute"]</span>&#160;would be to use the notation <span class="term">&#42; -attribute1 -attribute2 ...</span>. Thus, a value of <span class="term">&#42; -title -href</span>&#160;implies that except <span class="term">href</span>&#160;and <span class="term">title</span>&#160;(where allowed as per standards) all other attributes are to be removed. With this notation, the value for the parameter <span class="term">safe</span>&#160;(<a href="#s3.6">section 3.6</a>) will have no effect on <span class="term">deny_attribute</span>.<br />
+<br />
+&#160; htmLawed (function <span class="term">hl_tag()</span>) also:<br />
+<br />
+&#160; * &#160;Lower-cases attribute names<br />
+&#160; * &#160;Removes duplicate attributes (last one stays)<br />
+&#160; * &#160;Gives attributes the form <span class="term">name="value"</span>&#160;and single-spaces them, removing unnecessary white-spacing<br />

+&#160; * &#160;Double-quotes values and escapes any <span class="term">"</span>&#160;inside them<br />
+&#160; * &#160;Replaces the possibly dangerous soft-hyphen characters (hexadecimal code-point <span class="term">ad</span>) in the values with spaces<br />
+&#160; * &#160;Allows custom function to additionally filter/modify attribute values (see <a href="#s3.4.9">section 3.4.9</a>)<br />

+<br />
+&#160; If indicated attributes for the following elements are found missing, htmLawed (function <span class="term">hl_tag()</span>) will add them (with values same as attribute names unless indicated otherwise below):<br />
+<br />
+&#160; * &#160;area - alt (<span class="term">area</span>)<br />
+&#160; * &#160;area, img - src, alt (<span class="term">image</span>)<br />

+&#160; * &#160;textarea - rows (<span class="term">10</span>), cols (<span class="term">50</span>)<br />
+<br />
+&#160; Additionally, with <span class="term">$config["xml&#58;lang"]</span>&#160;set to <span class="term">1</span>&#160;or <span class="term">2</span>, if the <span class="term">lang</span>&#160;but not the <span class="term">xml&#58;lang</span>&#160;attribute is declared, then the latter is added too, with a value copied from that of <span class="term">lang</span>. This is for better standard-compliance. With <span class="term">$config["xml&#58;lang"]</span>&#160;set to <span class="term">2</span>, the <span class="term">lang</span>&#160;attribute is removed (XHTML 1.1 specs).<br />
+<br />
+&#160; Note that the <span class="term">name</span>&#160;attribute for <span class="term">map</span>, invalid in XHTML 1.1, is also transformed if required -- see <a href="#s3.4.6">section 3.4.6</a>.<br />

+</h4><span class="totop"><a href="#peak">(to top)</a></span><br style="clear: both;" />
+<br />
+&#160; If <span class="term">$config["unique_ids"]</span>&#160;is <span class="term">1</span>, htmLawed (function <span class="term">hl_tag()</span>) removes <span class="term">id</span>&#160;attributes with values that are not XHTML-compliant (must begin with a letter and can contain letters, digits, <span class="term">&#58;</span>, <span class="term">.</span>, <span class="term">-</span>&#160;and <span class="term">_</span>) or duplicate. If <span class="term">$config["unique_ids"]</span>&#160;is a word, any duplicate but otherwise valid value will be appropriately prefixed with the word to ensure its uniqueness. The word should begin with a letter and should contain only letters, numbers, <span class="term">&#58;</span>, <span class="term">.</span>, <span class="term">_</span>&#160;and <span class="term">-</span>.<br />
+<br />
+&#160; Even if multiple inputs need to be filtered (through multiple calls to htmLawed), htmLawed ensures uniqueness of <span class="term">id</span>&#160;values as it uses a global variable (<span class="term">$GLOBALS["hl_Ids"]</span>&#160;array). Further, an admin can restrict the use of certain <span class="term">id</span>&#160;values by presetting this variable before htmLawed is called into use. E.g.:<br />
+<br />
+
+<code class="code">&#160; &#160; $GLOBALS[&#39;hl_Ids&#39;] = array(&#39;top&#39;=&gt;1, &#39;bottom&#39;=&gt;1, &#39;myform&#39;=&gt;1); // id values not allowed in input</code>

+</h4><span class="totop"><a href="#peak">(to top)</a></span><br style="clear: both;" />
+<br />
+&#160; htmLawed edits attributes that take URLs as values if they are found to contain un-permitted schemes. E.g., if the <span class="term">afp</span>&#160;scheme is not permitted, then <span class="term">&lt;a href="afp&#58;//domain.org"&gt;</span>&#160;becomes <span class="term">&lt;a href="denied&#58;afp&#58;//domain.org"&gt;</span>, and if Javascript is not permitted <span class="term">&lt;a onclick="javascript&#58;xss();"&gt;</span>&#160;becomes <span class="term">&lt;a onclick="denied&#58;javascript&#58;xss();"&gt;</span>.<br />
+<br />
+&#160; By default htmLawed permits these schemes in URLs for the <span class="term">href</span>&#160;attribute:<br />
+<br />
+
+<code class="code">&#160; &#160; aim, feed, file, ftp, gopher, http, https, irc, mailto, news, nntp, sftp, ssh, telnet</code>
+<br />
+<br />
+&#160; Also, only <span class="term">file</span>, <span class="term">http</span>&#160;and <span class="term">https</span>&#160;are permitted in attributes whose names start with <span class="term">o</span>&#160;(like <span class="term">onmouseover</span>), and in these attributes that accept URLs:<br />
+<br />
+
+<code class="code">&#160; &#160; action, cite, classid, codebase, data, href, longdesc, model, pluginspage, pluginurl, src, style, usemap</code>
+<br />
+<br />
+&#160; These default sets are used when <span class="term">$config["schemes"]</span>&#160;is not set (see <a href="#s2.2">section 2.2</a>). To over-ride the defaults, <span class="term">$config["schemes"]</span>&#160;is defined as a string of semi-colon-separated sub-strings of type <span class="term">attribute&#58; comma-separated schemes</span>. E.g., <span class="term">href&#58; mailto, http, https; onclick&#58; javascript; src&#58; http, https</span>. For unspecified attributes, <span class="term">file</span>, <span class="term">http</span>&#160;and <span class="term">https</span>&#160;are permitted. This can be changed by passing schemes for <span class="term">&#42;</span>&#160;in <span class="term">$config["schemes"]</span>. E.g., <span class="term">href&#58; mailto, http, https; &#42;&#58; https, https</span>.<br />
+<br />
+&#160; <span class="term">&#42;</span>&#160;can be put in the list of schemes to permit all protocols. E.g., <span class="term">style&#58; &#42;; img&#58; http, https</span>&#160;results in protocols not being checked in <span class="term">style</span>&#160;attribute values. However, in such cases, any relative-to-absolute URL conversion, or vice versa, (<a href="#s3.4.4">section 3.4.4</a>) is not done.<br />
+<br />
+&#160; Thus, <em>to allow Javascript</em>, one can set <span class="term">$config["schemes"]</span>&#160;as <span class="term">href&#58; mailto, http, https; &#42;&#58; http, https, javascript</span>, or <span class="term">href&#58; mailto, http, https, javascript; &#42;&#58; http, https, javascript</span>, or <span class="term">&#42;&#58; &#42;</span>, and so on.<br />
+<br />
+&#160; As a side-note, one may find <span class="term">style&#58; &#42;</span>&#160;useful as URLs in <span class="term">style</span>&#160;attributes can be specified in a variety of ways, and the patterns that htmLawed uses to identify URLs may mistakenly identify non-URL text.<br />
+<br />
+&#160; <span class="term">!</span>&#160;can be put in the list of schemes to disallow all protocols as well as <em>local</em>&#160;URLs. Thus, with <span class="term">href&#58; http, style&#58; !</span>, '&lt;a href="http://cnn.com" style="background-image: url('local.jpg');"&gt;CNN&lt;/a&gt;' will become '&lt;a href="http://cnn.com" style="background-image: url('denied:local.jpg');"&gt;CNN&lt;/a&gt;'.<br />
+<br />
+&#160; <strong>Note</strong>: If URL-accepting attributes other than those listed above are being allowed, then the scheme will not be checked unless the attribute name contains the string <span class="term">src</span>&#160;(e.g., <span class="term">dynsrc</span>) or starts with <span class="term">o</span>&#160;(e.g., <span class="term">onbeforecopy</span>).<br />
+<br />
+&#160; With <span class="term">$config["safe"] = 1</span>, all URLs are disallowed in the <span class="term">style</span>&#160;attribute values.<br />

+</h4><span class="totop"><a href="#peak">(to top)</a></span><br style="clear: both;" />
+<br />
+&#160; htmLawed can make absolute URLs in attributes like <span class="term">href</span>&#160;relative (<span class="term">$config["abs_url"]</span>&#160;is <span class="term">-1</span>), and vice versa (<span class="term">$config["abs_url"]</span>&#160;is <span class="term">1</span>). URLs in scripts are not considered for this, and so are URLs like <span class="term">#section_6</span>&#160;(fragment), <span class="term">?name=Tim#show</span>&#160;(starting with query string), and <span class="term">;var=1?name=Tim#show</span>&#160;(starting with parameters). Further, this requires that <span class="term">$config["base_url"]</span>&#160;be set properly, with the <span class="term">&#58;//</span>&#160;and a trailing slash (<span class="term">/</span>), with no query string, etc. E.g., <span class="term">file&#58;///D&#58;/page/</span>, <span class="term">https&#58;//abc.com/x/y/</span>, or <span class="term">http&#58;//localhost/demo/</span>&#160;are okay, but <span class="term">file&#58;///D&#58;/page/?help=1</span>, <span class="term">abc.com/x/y/</span>&#160;and <span class="term">http&#58;//localhost/demo/index.htm</span>&#160;are not.<br />
+<br />
+&#160; For making absolute URLs relative, only those URLs that have the <span class="term">$config["base_url"]</span>&#160;string at the beginning are converted. E.g., with <span class="term">$config["base_url"] = "https&#58;//abc.com/x/y/"</span>, <span class="term">https&#58;//abc.com/x/y/a.gif</span>&#160;and <span class="term">https&#58;//abc.com/x/y/z/b.gif</span>&#160;become <span class="term">a.gif</span>&#160;and <span class="term">z/b.gif</span>&#160;respectively, while <span class="term">https&#58;//abc.com/x/c.gif</span>&#160;is not changed.<br />
+<br />
+&#160; When making relative URLs absolute, only values for scheme, network location (host-name) and path values in the base URL are inherited. See <a href="#s5.5">section 5.5</a>&#160;for more about the URL specification as per RFC <a href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1808.txt">1808</a>.<br />

+<br />
+&#160; Optionally, for standard-compliance, htmLawed (function <span class="term">hl_tag()</span>) lower-cases standard attribute values to give, e.g., <span class="term">input type="password"</span>&#160;instead of <span class="term">input type="Password"</span>, if <span class="term">$config["lc_std_val"]</span>&#160;is <span class="term">1</span>.

For such replacements for <span class="term">a</span>&#160;and <span class="term">map</span>, for which the <span class="term">name</span>&#160;attribute is deprecated in XHTML 1.1, <span class="term">$config["no_deprecated_attr"]</span>&#160;should be set to <span class="term">2</span>&#160;(when set to <span class="term">1</span>, for these two elements, the <span class="term">name</span>&#160;attribute is retained).<br />

+<br />
+&#160; htmLawed (function <span class="term">hl_tag()</span>) can check the <span class="term">href</span>&#160;attribute values (link addresses) as an anti-spam (email or link spam) measure.<br />
+<br />
+&#160; If <span class="term">$config["anti_mail_spam"]</span>&#160;is not <span class="term">0</span>, the <span class="term">@</span>&#160;of email addresses in <span class="term">href</span>&#160;values like <span class="term">mailto&#58;a@b.com</span>&#160;is replaced with text specified by <span class="term">$config["anti_mail_spam"]</span>. The text should be of a form that makes it clear to others that the address needs to be edited before a mail is sent; e.g., <span class="term">&lt;remove_this_antispam&gt;@</span>&#160;(makes the example address <span class="term">a&lt;remove_this_antispam&gt;@b.com</span>).<br />
+<br />
+&#160; For regular links, one can choose to have a <span class="term">rel</span>&#160;attribute with <span class="term">nofollow</span>&#160;in its value (which tells some search engines to not follow a link). This can discourage link spammers. Additionally, or as an alternative, one can choose to empty the <span class="term">href</span>&#160;value altogether (disable the link).<br />
+<br />
+&#160; For use of these options, <span class="term">$config["anti_link_spam"]</span>&#160;should be set as an array with values <span class="term">regex1</span>&#160;and <span class="term">regex2</span>, both or one of which can be empty (like <span class="term">array("", "regex2")</span>) to indicate that that option is not to be used. Otherwise, <span class="term">regex1</span>&#160;or <span class="term">regex2</span>&#160;should be PHP- and PCRE-compatible regular expression patterns: <span class="term">href</span>&#160;values will be matched against them and those matching the pattern will accordingly be treated.<br />
+<br />
+&#160; Note that the regular expressions should have <em>delimiters</em>, and be well-formed and preferably fast. Absolute efficiency/accuracy is often not needed.<br />
+<br />
+&#160; An example, to have a <span class="term">rel</span>&#160;attribute with <span class="term">nofollow</span>&#160;for all links, and to disable links that do not point to domains <span class="term">abc.com</span>&#160;and <span class="term">xyz.org</span>:<br />

+</h3><span class="totop"><a href="#peak">(to top)</a></span><br style="clear: both;" />
+<br />
+&#160; htmLawed can check URL schemes and dynamic expressions (to guard against Javascript, etc., script-based insecurities) in inline CSS style property values in the <span class="term">style</span>&#160;attributes. (CSS properties like <span class="term">background-image</span>&#160;that accept URLs in their values are noted in <a href="#s5.3">section 5.3</a>.) Dynamic CSS expressions that allow scripting in the IE browser, and can be a vulnerability, can be removed from property values by setting <span class="term">$config["css_expression"]</span>&#160;to <span class="term">1</span>&#160;(default setting). Note that when <span class="term">$config["css_expression"]</span>&#160;is set to <span class="term">1</span>, htmLawed will remove <span class="term">/&#42;</span>&#160;from the <span class="term">style</span>&#160;values.<br />
+<br />
+&#160; <strong>Note</strong>: Because of the various ways of representing characters in attribute values (URL-escapement, entitification, etc.), htmLawed might alter the values of the <span class="term">style</span>&#160;attribute values, and may even falsely identify dynamic CSS expressions and URL schemes in them. If this is an important issue, checking of URLs and dynamic expressions can be turned off (<span class="term">$config["schemes"] = "...style&#58;&#42;..."</span>, see <a href="#s3.4.3">section 3.4.3</a>, and <span class="term">$config["css_expression"] = 0</span>). Alternately, admins can use their own custom function for finer handling of <span class="term">style</span>&#160;values through the <span class="term">hook_tag</span>&#160;parameter (see <a href="#s3.4.9">section 3.4.9</a>).<br />
+<br />
+&#160; It is also possible to have htmLawed let through any <span class="term">style</span>&#160;value by setting <span class="term">$config["style_pass"]</span>&#160;to <span class="term">1</span>.<br />
+<br />
+&#160; As such, it is better to set up a CSS file with class declarations, disallow the <span class="term">style</span>&#160;attribute, set a <span class="term">$spec</span>&#160;rule (see <a href="#s2.3">section 2.3</a>) for <span class="term">class</span>&#160;for the <span class="term">oneof</span>&#160;or <span class="term">match</span>&#160;parameter, and ask writers to make use of the <span class="term">class</span>&#160;attribute.<br />

+<a name="s3.4.9" id="s3.4.9"></a><span class="item-no">3.4.9</span>&#160; Hook function for tag content
+</h3><span class="totop"><a href="#peak">(to top)</a></span><br style="clear: both;" />
+<br />
+&#160; It is possible to utilize a custom hook function to alter the tag content htmLawed has finalized (i.e., after it has checked/corrected for required attributes, transformed attributes, lower-cased attribute names, etc.).<br />
+<br />
+&#160; When <span class="term">$config</span>&#160;parameter <span class="term">hook_tag</span>&#160;is set to the name of a function, htmLawed (function <span class="term">hl_tag()</span>) will pass on the element name, and, in the case of an opening tag, the <em>finalized</em>&#160;attribute name-value pairs as array elements to the function. The function, after completing a task such as filtering or tag transformation, will typically return an empty string, the full opening tag string like <span class="term">&lt;element_name attribute_1_name="attribute_1_value"...&gt;</span>&#160;(for empty elements like <span class="term">img</span>&#160;and <span class="term">input</span>, the element-closing slash <span class="term">/</span>&#160;should also be included), etc.<br />
+<br />
+&#160; Any <span class="term">hook_tag</span>&#160;function, since htmLawed version 1.1.11, also receives names of elements in closing tags, such as <span class="term">a</span>&#160;in the closing <span class="term">&lt;/a&gt;</span>&#160;tag of the element <span class="term">&lt;a href="http&#58;//cnn.com"&gt;CNN&lt;/a&gt;</span>. Unlike for opening tags, no other value (i.e., the attribute name-value array) is passed to the function since a closing tag contains only element names. Typically, the function will return an empty string or a full closing tag (like <span class="term">&lt;/a&gt;</span>).<br />
+<br />
+&#160; This is a <strong>powerful functionality</strong>&#160;that can be exploited for various objectives: consolidate-and-convert inline <span class="term">style</span>&#160;attributes to <span class="term">class</span>, convert <span class="term">embed</span>&#160;elements to <span class="term">object</span>, permit only one <span class="term">caption</span>&#160;element in a <span class="term">table</span>&#160;element, disallow embedding of certain types of media, <strong>inject HTML</strong>, use <a href="http://csstidy.sourceforge.net">CSSTidy</a>&#160;to sanitize <span class="term">style</span>&#160;attribute values, etc.<br />
+<br />
+&#160; As an example, the custom hook code below can be used to force a series of specifically ordered <span class="term">id</span>&#160;attributes on all elements, and a specific <span class="term">param</span>&#160;element inside all <span class="term">object</span>&#160;elements:<br />

This allows one to pass the <span class="term">$config</span>&#160;argument with a simpler value. If a value for a parameter auto-set through <span class="term">valid_xhtml</span>&#160;is still manually provided, then that value will over-ride the auto-set value.<br />

+</h3><span class="totop"><a href="#peak">(to top)</a></span><br style="clear: both;" />
+<br />
+&#160; <em>Safe</em>&#160;HTML refers to HTML that is restricted to reduce the vulnerability for scripting attacks (such as XSS) based on HTML code which otherwise may still be legal and compliant with the HTML standard specs. When elements such as <span class="term">script</span>&#160;and <span class="term">object</span>, and attributes such as <span class="term">onmouseover</span>&#160;and <span class="term">style</span>&#160;are allowed in the input text, an input writer can introduce malevolent HTML code. Note that what is considered <span class="term">safe</span>&#160;depends on the nature of the web application and the trust-level accorded to its users.<br />
+<br />
+&#160; htmLawed allows an admin to use <span class="term">$config["safe"]</span>&#160;to auto-adjust multiple <span class="term">$config</span>&#160;parameters (such as <span class="term">elements</span>&#160;which declares the allowed element-set), which otherwise would have to be manually set. The relevant parameters are indicated by <span class="term">"</span>&#160;in <a href="#s2.2">section 2.2</a>). Thus, one can pass the <span class="term">$config</span>&#160;argument with a simpler value.<br />
+<br />
+&#160; With the value of <span class="term">1</span>, htmLawed considers <span class="term">CDATA</span>&#160;sections and HTML comments as plain text, and prohibits the <span class="term">applet</span>, <span class="term">embed</span>, <span class="term">iframe</span>, <span class="term">object</span>&#160;and <span class="term">script</span>&#160;elements, and the <span class="term">on&#42;</span>&#160;attributes like <span class="term">onclick</span>. ( There are <span class="term">$config</span>&#160;parameters like <span class="term">css_expression</span>&#160;that are not affected by the value set for <span class="term">safe</span>&#160;but whose default values still contribute towards a more <em>safe</em>&#160;output.) Further, URLs with schemes (see <a href="#s3.4.3">section 3.4.3</a>) are neutralized so that, e.g., <span class="term">style="moz-binding&#58;url(http&#58;//danger)"</span>&#160;becomes <span class="term">style="moz-binding&#58;url(denied&#58;http&#58;//danger)"</span>.<br />
+<br />
+&#160; Admins, however, may still want to completely deny the <span class="term">style</span>&#160;attribute, e.g., with code like<br />
+<br />
+
+<code class="code">&#160; &#160; $processed = htmLawed($text, array(&#39;safe&#39;=&gt;1, &#39;deny_attribute&#39;=&gt;&#39;style&#39;));</code>
+<br />
+<br />
+&#160; Permitting the <span class="term">style</span>&#160;attribute brings in risks of <em>click-jacking</em>, etc. CSS property values can render a page non-functional or be used to deface it. Except for URLs, dynamic expressions, and some other things, htmLawed does not completely check <span class="term">style</span>&#160;values. It does provide ways for the code-developer implementing htmLawed to do such checks through the <span class="term">$spec</span>&#160;argument, and through the <span class="term">hook_tag</span>&#160;parameter (see <a href="#s3.4.8">section 3.4.8</a>&#160;for more). Disallowing style completely and relying on CSS classes and stylesheet files is recommended.<br />

+<br />
+&#160; If <span class="term">$config["hook"]</span>&#160;is not set to <span class="term">0</span>, then htmLawed will allow preliminarily processed input to be altered by a hook function named by <span class="term">$config["hook"]</span>&#160;before starting the main work (but after handling of characters, entities, HTML comments and <span class="term">CDATA</span>&#160;sections -- see code for function <span class="term">htmLawed()</span>).<br />
+<br />
+&#160; The hook function also allows one to alter the <em>finalized</em>&#160;values of <span class="term">$config</span>&#160;and <span class="term">$spec</span>.<br />
+<br />
+&#160; Note that the <span class="term">hook</span>&#160;parameter is different from the <span class="term">hook_tag</span>&#160;parameter (<a href="#s3.4.9">section 3.4.9</a>).<br />
+<br />
+&#160; Snippets of hook function code developed by others may be available on the <a href="http://www.bioinformatics.org/phplabware/internal_utilities/htmLawed">htmLawed</a>&#160;website.<br />

+</h3><span class="totop"><a href="#peak">(to top)</a></span><br style="clear: both;" />
+<br />
+&#160; htmLawed can assign the <em>finalized</em>&#160;<span class="term">$config</span>&#160;and <span class="term">$spec</span>&#160;values to a variable named by <span class="term">$config["show_setting"]</span>. The variable, made global by htmLawed, is set as an array with three keys: <span class="term">config</span>, with the <span class="term">$config</span>&#160;value, <span class="term">spec</span>, with the <span class="term">$spec</span>&#160;value, and <span class="term">time</span>, with a value that is the Unix time (the output of PHP's <span class="term">microtime()</span>&#160;function) when the value was assigned. Admins should use a PHP-compliant variable name (e.g., one that does not begin with a numerical digit) that does not conflict with variable names in their non-htmLawed code.<br />
+<br />
+&#160; The values, which are also post-hook function (if any), can be used to auto-generate information (on, e.g., the elements that are permitted) for input writers.<br />

+<a name="s3.9" id="s3.9"></a><span class="item-no">3.9</span>&#160; Retaining non-HTML tags in input with mixed markup
+</h3><span class="totop"><a href="#peak">(to top)</a></span><br style="clear: both;" />
+<br />
+&#160; htmLawed does not remove certain characters that, though invalid, are nevertheless <em>discouraged</em>&#160;in HTML documents as per the specifications (see <a href="#s5.1">section 5.1</a>). This can be utilized to deal with input that contains mixed markup. Input that may have HTML markup as well as some other markup that is based on the <span class="term">&lt;</span>, <span class="term">&gt;</span>&#160;and <span class="term">&amp;</span>&#160;characters is considered to have mixed markup. The non-HTML markup can be rather proprietary (like markup for emoticons/smileys), or standard (like MathML or SVG). Or it can be programming code meant for execution/evaluation (such as embedded PHP code).<br />
+<br />
+&#160; To deal with such mixed markup, the input text can be pre-processed to hide the non-HTML markup by specifically replacing the <span class="term">&lt;</span>, <span class="term">&gt;</span>&#160;and <span class="term">&amp;</span>&#160;characters with some of the HTML-discouraged characters (see <a href="#s3.1.2">section 3.1.2</a>). Post-htmLawed processing, the replacements are reverted.<br />
+<br />
+&#160; An example (mixed HTML and PHP code in input text):<br />
+<br />
+
+<code class="code">&#160; &#160; $text = preg_replace(&#39;&#96;&lt;\?php(.+?)\?&gt;&#96;sm&#39;, "\x83?php\\1?\x84", $text);</code>
+<br />
+
+<code class="code">&#160; &#160; $processed = htmLawed($text);</code>
+<br />
+
+<code class="code">&#160; &#160; $processed = preg_replace(&#39;&#96;\x83\?php(.+?)\?\x84&#96;sm&#39;, &#39;&lt;?php$1?&gt;&#39;, $processed);</code>
+<br />
+<br />
+&#160; This code will not work if <span class="term">$config["clean_ms_char"]</span>&#160;is set to <span class="term">1</span>&#160;(<a href="#s3.1">section 3.1</a>), in which case one should instead deploy a hook function (<a href="#s3.7">section 3.7</a>). (htmLawed internally uses certain control characters, code-points <span class="term">1</span>&#160;to <span class="term">7</span>, and use of these characters as markers in the logic of hook functions may cause issues.)<br />
+<br />
+&#160; Admins may also be able to use <span class="term">$config["and_mark"]</span>&#160;to deal with such mixed markup; see <a href="#s3.2">section 3.2</a>.<br />

+<br />
+&#160; Upgrading is as simple as replacing the previous version of <span class="term">htmLawed.php</span>&#160;(assuming it was not modified for customized features). As htmLawed output is almost always used in static documents, upgrading should not affect old, finalized content.<br />
+<br />
+&#160; <strong>Important</strong>&#160; The following upgrades may affect the functionality of a specific htmLawed installation:<br />
+<br />
+&#160; (1) From version 1.1-1.1.10 to 1.1.11 (or later), if a <span class="term">hook_tag</span>&#160;function is in use: In version 1.1.11, elements in closing tags (and not just the opening tags) are also passed to the function. There are no attribute names/values to pass, so a <span class="term">hook_tag</span>&#160;function receives only the element name. The <span class="term">hook_tag</span>&#160;function therefore may have to be edited. See <a href="#s3.4.9">section 3.4.9</a>.<br />
+<br />
+&#160; Old versions of htmLawed may be available online. E.g., for version 1.0, check <a href="http://www.bioinformatics.org/phplabware/downloads/htmLawed1.zip">http://www.bioinformatics.org/phplabware/downloads/htmLawed1.zip</a>, for 1.1.1, htmLawed111.zip, and for 1.1.10, htmLawed1110.zip.<br />

+</h3><span class="totop"><a href="#peak">(to top)</a></span><br style="clear: both;" />
+<br />
+&#160; The HTMLPurifier PHP library by Edward Yang is a very good HTML filtering script that uses object oriented PHP code. Compared to htmLawed, it (as of year 2010):<br />
+<br />
+&#160; * &#160;does not support PHP versions older than 5.0 (HTMLPurifier dropped PHP 4 support after version 2)<br />
+<br />
+&#160; * &#160;is 15-20 times bigger (scores of files totalling more than 750 kb)<br />
+<br />
+&#160; * &#160;consumes 10-15 times more RAM memory (just including the HTMLPurifier files without calling the filter requires a few MBs of memory)<br />
+<br />
+&#160; * &#160;is expectedly slower<br />
+<br />
+&#160; * &#160;does not allow admins to fully allow all valid HTML (because of incomplete HTML support, it always considers elements like <span class="term">script</span>&#160;illegal)<br />
+<br />
+&#160; * &#160;lacks many of the extra features of htmLawed (like entity conversions and code compaction/beautification)<br />
+<br />
+&#160; * &#160;has poor documentation<br />
+<br />
+&#160; However, HTMLPurifier has finer checks for character encodings and attribute values, and can log warnings and errors. Visit the HTMLPurifier <a href="http://htmlpurifier.org">website</a>&#160;for updated information.<br />

+<br />
+&#160; An <em>absolute</em>&#160;URL has a <span class="term">protocol</span>&#160;or <span class="term">scheme</span>, a <span class="term">network location</span>&#160;or <span class="term">hostname</span>, and, optional <span class="term">path</span>, <span class="term">parameters</span>, <span class="term">query</span>&#160;and <span class="term">fragment</span>&#160;segments. Thus, an absolute URL has this generic structure:<br />
+<br />
+
+<code class="code">&#160; &#160; (scheme) &#58; (//network location) /(path) ;(parameters) ?(query) #(fragment)</code>
+<br />
+<br />
+&#160; The schemes can only contain letters, digits, <span class="term">+</span>, <span class="term">.</span>&#160;and <span class="term">-</span>. Hostname is the portion after the <span class="term">//</span>&#160;and up to the first <span class="term">/</span>&#160;(if any; else, up to the end) when <span class="term">&#58;</span>&#160;is followed by a <span class="term">//</span>&#160;(e.g., <span class="term">abc.com</span>&#160;in <span class="term">ftp&#58;//abc.com/def</span>); otherwise, it consists of everything after the <span class="term">&#58;</span>&#160;(e.g., <span class="term">def@abc.com</span>&#160;in mailto:def@abc.com').<br />
+<br />
+&#160; <em>Relative</em>&#160;URLs do not have explicit schemes and network locations; such values are inherited from a <em>base</em>&#160;URL.<br />

+<a name="s5.6" id="s5.6"></a><span class="item-no">5.6</span>&#160; Brief on htmLawed code
+</h3><span class="totop"><a href="#peak">(to top)</a></span><br style="clear: both;" />
+<br />
+&#160; Much of the code's logic and reasoning can be understood from the documentation above.<br />
+<br />
+&#160; The <strong>output</strong>&#160;of htmLawed is a text string containing the processed input. There is no custom error tracking.<br />
+<br />
+&#160; <strong>Function arguments</strong>&#160;for htmLawed are:<br />
+<br />
+&#160; * &#160;<span class="term">$in</span>&#160;- first argument; a text string; the <strong>input text</strong>&#160;to be processed. Any extraneous slashes added by PHP when <em>magic quotes</em>&#160;are enabled should be removed beforehand using PHP's <span class="term">stripslashes()</span>&#160;function.<br />
+<br />
+&#160; * &#160;<span class="term">$config</span>&#160;- second argument; an associative array; optional; named <span class="term">$C</span>&#160;within htmLawed code. The array has keys with names like <span class="term">balance</span>&#160;and <span class="term">keep_bad</span>, and the values, which can be boolean, string, or array, depending on the key, are read to accordingly set the <strong>configurable parameters</strong>&#160;(indicated by the keys). All configurable parameters receive some default value if the value to be used is not specified by the user through <span class="term">$config</span>. <em>Finalized</em>&#160;<span class="term">$config</span>&#160;is thus a filtered and possibly larger array.<br />
+<br />
+&#160; * &#160;<span class="term">$spec</span>&#160;- third argument; a text string; optional. The string has rules, written in an htmLawed-designated format, <strong>specifying</strong>&#160;element-specific attribute and attribute value restrictions. Function <span class="term">hl_spec()</span>&#160;is used to convert the string to an associative-array, named <span class="term">$S</span>&#160;within htmLawed code, for internal use. <em>Finalized</em>&#160;<span class="term">$spec</span>&#160;is thus an array.<br />
+<br />
+&#160; <em>Finalized</em>&#160;<span class="term">$config</span>&#160;and <span class="term">$spec</span>&#160;are made <strong>global variables</strong>&#160;while htmLawed is at work. Values of any pre-existing global variables with same names are noted, and their values are restored after htmLawed finishes processing the input (to capture the <em>finalized</em>&#160;values, the <span class="term">show_settings</span>&#160;parameter of <span class="term">$config</span>&#160;should be used). Depending on <span class="term">$config</span>, another global variable <span class="term">hl_Ids</span>, to track <span class="term">id</span>&#160;attribute values for uniqueness, may be set. Unlike the other two variables, this one is not reset (or unset) post-processing.<br />
+<br />
+&#160; Except for the main function <span class="term">htmLawed()</span>&#160;and the functions <span class="term">kses()</span>&#160;and <span class="term">kses_hook()</span>, htmLawed's functions are <strong>name-spaced</strong>&#160;using the <span class="term">hl_</span>&#160;prefix. The <strong>functions</strong>&#160;and their roles are:<br />
+<br />
+&#160; * &#160;<span class="term">hl_attrval</span>&#160;- checking attribute values against $spec<br />
+&#160; * &#160;<span class="term">hl_bal</span>&#160;- tag balancing<br />
+&#160; * &#160;<span class="term">hl_cmtcd</span>&#160;- handling CDATA sections and HTML comments<br />
+&#160; * &#160;<span class="term">hl_ent</span>&#160;- entity handling<br />
+&#160; * &#160;<span class="term">hl_prot</span>&#160;- checking a URL scheme/protocol<br />
+&#160; * &#160;<span class="term">hl_regex</span>&#160;- checking syntax of a regular expression<br />
+&#160; * &#160;<span class="term">hl_spec</span>&#160;- converting user-supplied $spec value to one used by htmLawed internally<br />
+&#160; * &#160;<span class="term">hl_tag</span>&#160;- handling tags<br />
+&#160; * &#160;<span class="term">hl_tag2</span>&#160;- transforming tags<br />
+&#160; * &#160;<span class="term">hl_tidy</span>&#160;- compact/beautify HTML<br />
+&#160; * &#160;<span class="term">hl_version</span>&#160;- reporting htmLawed version<br />
+&#160; * &#160;<span class="term">htmLawed</span>&#160;- main function<br />
+&#160; * &#160;<span class="term">kses</span>&#160;- main function of <span class="term">kses</span><br />
+&#160; * &#160;<span class="term">kses_hook</span>&#160;- hook function of <span class="term">kses</span><br />
+<br />
+&#160; The last two are for compatibility with pre-existing code using the <span class="term">kses</span>&#160;script. htmLawed's <span class="term">kses()</span>&#160;basically passes on the filtering task to <span class="term">htmLawed()</span>&#160;function after deciphering <span class="term">$config</span>&#160;and <span class="term">$spec</span>&#160;from the argument values supplied to it. <span class="term">kses_hook()</span>&#160;is an empty function and is meant for being filled with custom code if the <span class="term">kses</span>&#160;script users were using one.<br />
+<br />
+&#160; <span class="term">htmLawed()</span>&#160;finalizes <span class="term">$spec</span>&#160;(with the help of <span class="term">hl_spec()</span>) and <span class="term">$config</span>, and globalizes them. Finalization of <span class="term">$config</span>&#160;involves setting default values if an inappropriate or invalid one is supplied. This includes calling <span class="term">hl_regex()</span>&#160;to check well-formedness of regular expression patterns if such expressions are user-supplied through <span class="term">$config</span>. <span class="term">htmLawed()</span>&#160;then removes invalid characters like nulls and <span class="term">x01</span>&#160;and appropriately handles entities using <span class="term">hl_ent()</span>. HTML comments and CDATA sections are identified and treated as per <span class="term">$config</span>&#160;with the help of <span class="term">hl_cmtcd()</span>. When retained, the <span class="term">&lt;</span>&#160;and <span class="term">&gt;</span>&#160;characters identifying them, and the <span class="term">&lt;</span>, <span class="term">&gt;</span>&#160;and <span class="term">&amp;</span>&#160;characters inside them, are replaced with control characters (code-points <span class="term">1</span>&#160;to <span class="term">5</span>) till any tag balancing is completed.<br />
+<br />
+&#160; After this <em>initial processing</em>&#160;<span class="term">htmLawed()</span>&#160;identifies tags using regex and processes them with the help of <span class="term">hl_tag()</span>&#160;-- &#160;a large function that analyzes tag content, filtering it as per HTML standards, <span class="term">$config</span>&#160;and <span class="term">$spec</span>. Among other things, <span class="term">hl_tag()</span>&#160;transforms deprecated elements using <span class="term">hl_tag2()</span>, removes attributes from closing tags, checks attribute values as per <span class="term">$spec</span>&#160;rules using <span class="term">hl_attrval()</span>, and checks URL protocols using <span class="term">hl_prot()</span>. <span class="term">htmLawed()</span>&#160;performs tag balancing and nesting checks with a call to <span class="term">hl_bal()</span>, and optionally compacts/beautifies the output with proper white-spacing with a call to <span class="term">hl_tidy()</span>. The latter temporarily replaces white-space, and <span class="term">&lt;</span>, <span class="term">&gt;</span>&#160;and <span class="term">&amp;</span>&#160;characters inside <span class="term">pre</span>, <span class="term">script</span>&#160;and <span class="term">textarea</span>&#160;elements, and HTML comments and CDATA sections with control characters (code-points <span class="term">1</span>&#160;to <span class="term">5</span>, and <span class="term">7</span>).<br />
+<br />
+&#160; htmLawed permits the use of custom code or <strong>hook functions</strong>&#160;at two stages. The first, called inside <span class="term">htmLawed()</span>, allows the input text as well as the finalized <span class="term">$config</span>&#160;and <span class="term">$spec</span>&#160;values to be altered right after the initial processing (see <a href="#s3.7">section 3.7</a>). The second is called by <span class="term">hl_tag()</span>&#160;once the tag content is finalized (see <a href="#s3.4.9">section 3.4.9</a>).<br />
+<br />
+&#160; The functionality of htmLawed is dictated by the external HTML standard. It is thus coded for a clear-cut objective with not much concern for tweakability. The code is only minimally annotated with comments -- it is not meant to instruct; PHP developers familiar with the HTML specifications will see the logic, and others can always refer to the htmLawed documentation. The compact structuring of the statements is meant to aid a quick grasp of the logic.

-== 1 About htmLawed ================================================
-
-
- htmLawed is a highly customizable single-file PHP script to make text secure, and standard- and admin policy-compliant for use in the body of HTML 4, XHTML 1 or 1.1, or generic XML documents. It is thus a configurable input (X)HTML filter, processor, purifier, sanitizer, beautifier, etc., and an alternative to the HTMLTidy:- http://tidy.sourceforge.net application.
-
- The `lawing in` of input text is needed to ensure that HTML code in the text is standard-compliant, does not introduce security vulnerabilities, and does not break the aesthetics, design or layout of web-pages. htmLawed tries to do this by, for example, making HTML well-formed with balanced and properly nested tags, neutralizing code that may be used for cross-site scripting ('XSS') attacks, and allowing only specified HTML elements/tags and attributes.
-
-
--- 1.1 Example uses ------------------------------------------------
-
-
- * Filtering of text submitted as comments on blogs to allow only certain HTML elements
-
- * Making RSS/Atom newsfeed item-content standard-compliant: often one uses an excerpt from an HTML document for the content, and with unbalanced tags, non-numerical entities, etc., such excerpts may not be XML-compliant
-
- * Text processing for stricter XML standard-compliance: e.g., to have lowercased 'x' in hexadecimal numeric entities becomes necessary if an XHTML document with MathML content needs to be served as 'application/xml'
-
- * Scraping text or data from web-pages
-
- * Pretty-printing HTML code

-
--- 1.3 History ----------------------------------------------------o
-
-
- htmLawed was developed for use with 'LabWiki', a wiki software developed at PHP Labware, as a suitable software could not be found. Existing PHP software like 'Kses' and 'HTMLPurifier' were deemed inadequate, slow, resource-intensive, or dependent on external applications like 'HTML Tidy'.
-
- htmLawed started as a modification of Ulf Harnhammar's 'Kses' (version 0.2.2) software, and is compatible with code that uses 'Kses'; see section:- #2.6.
-

-
--- 1.5 Terms used here --------------------------------------------o
-
-
- * `administrator` - or admin; person setting up the code to pass input through htmLawed; also, `user`
- * `attributes` - name-value pairs like 'href="http://x.com"' in opening tags

- * `entity` - markup like '&gt;' and '&#160;' used to refer to a character
- * `element` - HTML element like 'a' and 'img'
- * `element content` - content between the opening and closing tags of an element, like 'click' of '<a href="x">click</a>'
- * `HTML` - implies XHTML unless specified otherwise
- * `input` - text string given to htmLawed to process
- * `processing` - involves filtering, correction, etc., of input
- * `safe` - absence or reduction of certain characters and HTML elements and attributes in the input that can otherwise potentially and circumstantially expose web-site users to security vulnerabilities like cross-site scripting attacks (XSS)
- * `scheme` - URL protocol like 'http' and 'ftp'

-
-== 2 Usage ========================================================oo
-
-
- htmLawed should work with PHP 4.4 and higher. Either 'include()' the 'htmLawed.php' file or copy-paste the entire code.
-
- To easily *test* htmLawed using a form-based interface, use the provided demo:- htmLawedTest.php ('htmLawed.php' and 'htmLawedTest.php' should be in the same directory on the web-server).
-
- *Note*: For code for usage of the htmLawed class (for htmLawed in OOP), please refer to the htmLawed:- http://www.bioinformatics.org/phplabware/internal_utilities/htmLawed website; the filtering itself can be configured, etc., as described here.
-
-
--- 2.1 Simple ------------------------------------------------------
-
-
- The input text to be processed, '$text', is passed as an argument of type string; 'htmLawed()' returns the processed string:
-
- $processed = htmLawed($text);
-
- *Note*: If input is from a '$_GET' or '$_POST' value, and 'magic quotes' are enabled on the PHP setup, run 'stripslashes()' on the input before passing to htmLawed.
-
- By default, htmLawed will process the text allowing all valid HTML elements/tags, secure URL scheme/CSS style properties, etc. It will allow 'CDATA' sections and HTML comments, balance tags, and ensure proper nesting of elements. Such actions can be configured using two other optional arguments -- '$config' and '$spec':
-
- $processed = htmLawed($text, $config, $spec);
-
- These extra parameters are detailed below. Some examples are shown in section:- #2.9.
-
- *Note*: For maximum protection against 'XSS' and other scripting attacks (e.g., by disallowing Javascript code), consider using the 'safe' parameter; see section:- #3.6.
-
-
--- 2.2 Configuring htmLawed using the '$config' parameter ---------o
-
-
- '$config' instructs htmLawed on how to tackle certain tasks. When '$config' is not specified, or not set as an array (e.g., '$config = 1'), htmLawed will take default actions. One or many of the task-action or value-specification pairs can be specified in '$config' as array key-value pairs. If a parameter is not specified, htmLawed will use the default value/action indicated further below.
-
- $config = array('comment'=>0, 'cdata'=>1);
- $processed = htmLawed($text, $config);
-
- Or,
-
- $processed = htmLawed($text, array('comment'=>0, 'cdata'=>1));
-
- Below are the possible value-specification combinations. In PHP code, values that are integers should not be quoted and should be used as numeric types (unless meant as string/text).
-
- Key: '*' default, '^' different default when htmLawed is used in the Kses-compatible mode (see section:- #2.6), '~' different default when 'valid_xhtml' is set to '1' (see section:- #3.5), '"' different default when 'safe' is set to '1' (see section:- #3.6)

-
--- 2.3 Extra HTML specifications using the $spec parameter --------o
-
-
- The '$spec' argument can be used to disallow an otherwise legal attribute for an element, or to restrict the attribute's values. This can also be helpful as a security measure (e.g., in certain versions of browsers, certain values can cause buffer overflows and denial of service attacks), or in enforcing admin policy compliance. '$spec' is specified as a string of text containing one or more `rules`, with multiple rules separated from each other by a semi-colon (';'). E.g.,
-
- $spec = 'i=-*; td, tr=style, id, -*; a=id(match="/[a-z][a-z\d.:\-`"]*/i"/minval=2), href(maxlen=100/minlen=34); img=-width,-alt';
- $processed = htmLawed($text, $config, $spec);
-
- Or,
-
- $processed = htmLawed($text, $config, 'i=-*; td, tr=style, id, -*; a=id(match="/[a-z][a-z\d.:\-`"]*/i"/minval=2), href(maxlen=100/minlen=34); img=-width,-alt');
-
- A rule begins with an HTML *element* name(s) (`rule-element`), for which the rule applies, followed by an equal ('=') sign. A rule-element may represent multiple elements if comma (,)-separated element names are used. E.g., 'th,td,tr='.
-
- Rest of the rule consists of comma-separated HTML *attribute names*. A minus ('-') character before an attribute means that the attribute is not permitted inside the rule-element. E.g., '-width'. To deny all attributes, '-*' can be used.
-
- Following shows examples of rule excerpts with rule-element 'a' and the attributes that are being permitted:
-
- * 'a=' - all
- * 'a=id' - all
- * 'a=href, title, -id, -onclick' - all except 'id' and 'onclick'
- * 'a=*, id, -id' - all except 'id'
- * 'a=-*' - none
- * 'a=-*, href, title' - none except 'href' and 'title'
- * 'a=-*, -id, href, title' - none except 'href' and 'title'
-
- Rules regarding *attribute values* are optionally specified inside round brackets after attribute names in slash ('/')-separated `parameter = value` pairs. E.g., 'title(maxlen=30/minlen=5)'. None, or one or more of the following parameters may be specified:
-
- * 'oneof' - one or more choices separated by '|' that the value should match; if only one choice is provided, then the value must match that choice
-
- * 'noneof' - one or more choices separated by '|' that the value should not match
-
- * 'maxlen' and 'minlen' - upper and lower limits for the number of characters in the attribute value; specified in numbers
-
- * 'maxval' and 'minval' - upper and lower limits for the numerical value specified in the attribute value; specified in numbers
-
- * 'match' and 'nomatch' - pattern that the attribute value should or should not match; specified as PHP/PCRE-compatible regular expressions with delimiters and possibly modifiers
-
- * 'default' - a value to force on the attribute if the value provided by the writer does not fit any of the specified parameters
-
- If 'default' is not set and the attribute value does not satisfy any of the specified parameters, then the attribute is removed. The 'default' value can also be used to force all attribute declarations to take the same value (by getting the values declared illegal by setting, e.g., 'maxlen' to '-1').
-
- Examples with `input` '<input title="WIDTH" value="10em" /><input title="length" value="5" />' are shown below.
-
- `Rule`: 'input=title(maxlen=60/minlen=6), value'
- `Output`: '<input value="10em" /><input title="length" value="5" />'
-
- `Rule`: 'input=title(), value(maxval=8/default=6)'
- `Output`: '<input title="WIDTH" value="6" /><input title="length" value="5" />'
-
- `Rule`: 'input=title(nomatch=%w.d%i), value(match=%em%/default=6em)'
- `Output`: '<input value="10em" /><input title="length" value="6em" />'
-
- `Rule`: 'input=title(oneof=height|depth/default=depth), value(noneof=5|6)'
- `Output`: '<input title="depth" value="10em" /><input title="depth" />'
-
- *Special characters*: The characters ';', ',', '/', '(', ')', '|', '~' and space have special meanings in the rules. Words in the rules that use such characters, or the characters themselves, should be `escaped` by enclosing in pairs of double-quotes ('"'). A back-tick ('`') can be used to escape a literal '"'. An example rule illustrating this is 'input=value(maxlen=30/match="/^\w/"/default="your `"ID`"")'.
-
- *Note*: To deny an attribute for all elements for which it is legal, '$config["deny_attribute"]' (see section:- #3.4) can be used instead of '$spec'. Also, attributes can be allowed element-specifically through '$spec' while being denied globally through '$config["deny_attribute"]'. The 'hook_tag' parameter (section:- #3.4.9) can also be used to implement the '$spec' functionality.
-
-
--- 2.4 Performance time & memory usage ----------------------------o
-
-
- The time and memory used by htmLawed depends on its configuration and the size of the input, and the amount, nestedness and well-formedness of the HTML markup within it. In particular, tag balancing and beautification each can increase the processing time by about a quarter.
-
- The htmLawed demo:- htmLawedTest.php can be used to evaluate the performance and effects of different types of input and '$config'.
-
-
--- 2.5 Some security risks to keep in mind ------------------------o
-
-
- When setting the parameters/arguments (like those to allow certain HTML elements) for use with htmLawed, one should bear in mind that the setting may let through potentially `dangerous` HTML code which is meant to steal user-data, deface a website, render a page non-functional, etc.
-
- Unless end-users, either people or software, supplying the content are completely trusted, security issues arising from the degree of HTML usage permission has to be kept in mind. For example, following increase security risks:
-
- * Allowing 'script', 'applet', 'embed', 'iframe' or 'object' elements, or certain of their attributes like 'allowscriptaccess'
-
- * Allowing HTML comments (some Internet Explorer versions are vulnerable with, e.g., '<!--[if gte IE 4]><script>alert("xss");</script><![endif]-->'
-
- * Allowing dynamic CSS expressions (a feature of the IE browser)
-
- * Allowing the 'style' attribute
-
- To remove `unsecure` HTML, code-developers using htmLawed must set '$config' appropriately. E.g., '$config["elements"] = "* -script"' to deny the 'script' element (section:- #3.3), '$config["safe"] = 1' to auto-configure ceratin htmLawed parameters for maximizing security (section:- #3.6), etc.
-
- Permitting the '*style*' attribute brings in risks of `click-jacking`, `phishing`, web-page overlays, etc., `even` when the 'safe' parameter is enabled (see section:- #3.6). Except for URLs and a few other things like CSS dynamic expressions, htmLawed currently does not check every CSS style property. It does provide ways for the code-developer implementing htmLawed to do such checks through htmLawed's '$spec' argument, and through the 'hook_tag' parameter (see section:- #3.4.8 for more). Disallowing 'style' completely and relying on CSS classes and stylesheet files is recommended.
-
- htmLawed does not check or correct the character *encoding* of the input it receives. In conjunction with permitting circumstances such as when the character encoding is left undefined through HTTP headers or HTML 'meta' tags, this can permit an exploit (like Google's UTF-7/XSS vulnerability of the past).
-
-
--- 2.6 Use without modifying old 'kses()' code --------------------o
-
-
- The 'Kses' PHP script is used by many applications (like 'WordPress'). It is possible to have such applications use htmLawed instead, since it is compatible with code that calls the 'kses()' function declared in the 'Kses' file (usually named 'kses.php'). E.g., application code like this will continue to work after replacing 'Kses' with htmLawed:
-
- $comment_filtered = kses($comment_input, array('a'=>array(), 'b'=>array(), 'i'=>array()));
-
- For some of the '$config' parameters, htmLawed will use values other than the default ones. These are indicated by '^' in section:- #2.2. To force htmLawed to use other values, function 'kses()' in the htmLawed code should be edited -- a few configurable parameters/variables need to be changed.
-
- If the application uses a 'Kses' file that has the 'kses()' function declared, then, to have the application use htmLawed instead of 'Kses', simply rename 'htmLawed.php' (to 'kses.php', e.g.) and replace the 'Kses' file (or just replace the code in the 'Kses' file with the htmLawed code). If the 'kses()' function in the 'Kses' file had been renamed by the application developer (e.g., in 'WordPress', it is named 'wp_kses()'), then appropriately rename the 'kses()' function in the htmLawed code.
-
- If the 'Kses' file used by the application has been highly altered by the application developers, then one may need a different approach. E.g., with 'WordPress', it is best to copy the htmLawed code to 'wp_includes/kses.php', rename the newly added function 'kses()' to 'wp_kses()', and delete the code for the original 'wp_kses()' function.
-
- If the 'Kses' code has a non-empty hook function (e.g., 'wp_kses_hook()' in case of 'WordPress'), then the code for htmLawed's 'kses_hook()' function should be appropriately edited. However, the requirement of the hook function should be re-evaluated considering that htmLawed has extra capabilities. With 'WordPress', the hook function is an essential one. The following code is suggested for the htmLawed 'kses_hook()' in case of 'WordPress':
-
- function kses_hook($string, &$cf, &$spec){
- // kses compatibility
- $allowed_html = $spec;
- $allowed_protocols = array();
- foreach($cf['schemes'] as $v){
- foreach($v as $k2=>$v2){
- if(!in_array($k2, $allowed_protocols)){
- $allowed_protocols[] = $k2;
- }
- }
- }
- return wp_kses_hook($string, $allowed_html, $allowed_protocols);
- // eof
- }
-
-
--- 2.7 Tolerance for ill-written HTML -----------------------------o
-
-
- htmLawed can work with ill-written HTML code in the input. However, HTML that is too ill-written may not be `read` as HTML, and be considered mere plain text instead. Following statements indicate the degree of `looseness` that htmLawed can work with, and can be provided in instructions to writers:
-
- * Tags must be flanked by '<' and '>' with no '>' inside -- any needed '>' should be put in as '&gt;'. It is possible for tag content (element name and attributes) to be spread over many lines instead of being on one. A space may be present between the tag content and '>', like '<div >' and '<img / >', but not after the '<'.
-
- * Element and attribute names need not be lower-cased.
-
- * Attribute string of elements may be liberally spaced with tabs, line-breaks, etc.
-
- * Attribute values may not be double-quoted, or may be single-quoted.
-
- * Left-padding of numeric entities (like, '&#0160;', '&x07ff;') with '0' is okay as long as the number of characters between between the '&' and the ';' does not exceed 8. All entities must end with ';' though.
-
- * Named character entities must be properly cased. E.g., '&Lt;' or '&TILDE;' will not be let through without modification.
-
- * HTML comments should not be inside element tags (okay between tags), and should begin with '<!--' and end with '-->'. Characters like '<', '>', and '&' may be allowed inside depending on '$config', but any '-->' inside should be put in as '--&gt;'. Any '--' inside will be automatically converted to '-', and a space will be added before the comment delimiter '-->'.
-
- * 'CDATA' sections should not be inside element tags, and can be in element content only if plain text is allowed for that element. They should begin with '<[CDATA[' and end with ']]>'. Characters like '<', '>', and '&' may be allowed inside depending on '$config', but any ']]>' inside should be put in as ']]&gt;'.
-
- * For attribute values, character entities '&lt;', '&gt;' and '&amp;' should be used instead of characters '<' and '>', and '&' (when '&' is not part of a character entity). This applies even for Javascript code in values of attributes like 'onclick'.
-
- * Characters '<', '>', '&' and '"' that are part of actual Javascript, etc., code in 'script' elements should be used as such and not be put in as entities like '&gt;'. Otherwise, though the HTML will be valid, the code may fail to work. Further, if such characters have to be used, then they should be put inside 'CDATA' sections.
-
- * Simple instructions like "an opening tag cannot be present between two closing tags" and "nested elements should be closed in the reverse order of how they were opened" can help authors write balanced HTML. If tags are imbalanced, htmLawed will try to balance them, but in the process, depending on '$config["keep_bad"]', some code/text may be lost.
-
- * Input authors should be notified of admin-specified allowed elements, attributes, configuration values (like conversion of named entities to numeric ones), etc.
-
- * With '$config["unique_ids"]' not '0' and the 'id' attribute being permitted, writers should carefully avoid using duplicate or invalid 'id' values as even though htmLawed will correct/remove the values, the final output may not be the one desired. E.g., when '<a id="home"></a><input id="home" /><label for="home"></label>' is processed into
-'<a id="home"></a><input id="prefix_home" /><label for="home"></label>'.
-
- * Note that even if intended HTML is lost in a highly ill-written input, the processed output will be more secure and standard-compliant.
-
- * For URLs, unless '$config["scheme"]' is appropriately set, writers should avoid using escape characters or entities in schemes. E.g., 'htt&#112;' (which many browsers will read as the harmless 'http') may be considered bad by htmLawed.
-
- * htmLawed will attempt to put plain text present directly inside 'blockquote', 'form', 'map' and 'noscript' elements (illegal as per the specs) inside auto-generated 'div' elements.
-
-
--- 2.8 Limitations & work-arounds ---------------------------------o
-
-
- htmLawed's main objective is to make the input text `more` standard-compliant, secure for web-page readers, and free of HTML elements and attributes considered undesirable by the administrator. Some of its current limitations, regardless of this objective, are noted below along with work-arounds.
-
- It should be borne in mind that no browser application is 100% standard-compliant, and that some of the standard specs (like asking for normalization of white-spacing within 'textarea' elements) are clearly wrong. Regarding security, note that `unsafe` HTML code is not necessarily legally invalid.
-
- * htmLawed is meant for input that goes into the 'body' of HTML documents. HTML's head-level elements are not supported, nor are the frameset elements 'frameset', 'frame' and 'noframes'.
-
- * It cannot transform the non-standard 'embed' elements to the standard-compliant 'object' elements. Yet, it can allow 'embed' elements if permitted ('embed' is widely used and supported). Admins can certainly use the 'hook_tag' parameter (section:- #3.4.9) to deploy a custom embed-to-object converter function.
-
- * The only non-standard element that may be permitted is 'embed'; others like 'noembed' and 'nobr' cannot be permitted without modifying the htmLawed code.
-
- * It cannot handle input that has non-HTML code like 'SVG' and 'MathML'. One way around is to break the input into pieces and passing only those without non-HTML code to htmLawed. Another is described in section:- #3.9. A third way may be to some how take advantage of the '$config["and_mark"]' parameter (see section:- #3.2).
-
- * By default, htmLawed won't check many attribute values for standard compliance. E.g., 'width="20m"' with the dimension in non-standard 'm' is let through. Implementing universal and strict attribute value checks can make htmLawed slow and resource-intensive. Admins should look at the 'hook_tag' parameter (section:- #3.4.9) or '$spec' to enforce finer checks.
-
- * The attributes, deprecated (which can be transformed too) or not, that it supports are largely those that are in the specs. Only a few of the proprietary attributes are supported.
-
- * Except for contained URLs and dynamic expressions (also optional), htmLawed does not check CSS style property values. Admins should look at using the 'hook_tag' parameter (section:- #3.4.9) or '$spec' for finer checks. Perhaps the best option is to disallow 'style' but allow 'class' attributes with the right 'oneof' or 'match' values for 'class', and have the various class style properties in '.css' CSS stylesheet files.
-
- * htmLawed does not parse emoticons, decode `BBcode`, or `wikify`, auto-converting text to proper HTML. Similarly, it won't convert line-breaks to 'br' elements. Such functions are beyond its purview. Admins should use other code to pre- or post-process the input for such purposes.
-
- * htmLawed cannot be used to have links force-opened in new windows (by auto-adding appropriate 'target' and 'onclick' attributes to 'a'). Admins should look at Javascript-based DOM-modifying solutions for this. Admins may also be able to use a custom hook function to enforce such checks ('hook_tag' parameter; see section:- #3.4.9).
-
- * Nesting-based checks are not possible. E.g., one cannot disallow 'p' elements specifically inside 'td' while permitting it elsewhere. Admins may be able to use a custom hook function to enforce such checks ('hook_tag' parameter; see section:- #3.4.9).
-
- * Except for optionally converting absolute or relative URLs to the other type, htmLawed will not alter URLs (e.g., to change the value of query strings or to convert 'http' to 'https'. Having absolute URLs may be a standard-requirement, e.g., when HTML is embedded in email messages, whereas altering URLs for other purposes is beyond htmLawed's goals. Admins may be able to use a custom hook function to enforce such checks ('hook_tag' parameter; see section:- #3.4.9).
-
- * Pairs of opening and closing tags that do not enclose any content (like '<em></em>') are not removed. This may be against the standard specs for certain elements (e.g., 'table'). However, presence of such standard-incompliant code will not break the display or layout of content. Admins can also use simple regex-based code to filter out such code.
-
- * htmLawed does not check for certain element orderings described in the standard specs (e.g., in a 'table', 'tbody' is allowed before 'tfoot'). Admins may be able to use a custom hook function to enforce such checks ('hook_tag' parameter; see section:- #3.4.9).
-
- * htmLawed does not check the number of nested elements. E.g., it will allow two 'caption' elements in a 'table' element, illegal as per the specs. Admins may be able to use a custom hook function to enforce such checks ('hook_tag' parameter; see section:- #3.4.9).
-
- * htmLawed might convert certain entities to actual characters and remove backslashes and CSS comment-markers ('/*') in 'style' attribute values in order to detect malicious HTML like crafted IE-specific dynamic expressions like '&#101;xpression...'. If this is too harsh, admins can allow CSS expressions through htmLawed core but then use a custom function through the 'hook_tag' parameter (section:- #3.4.9) to more specifically identify CSS expressions in the 'style' attribute values. Also, using '$config["style_pass"]', it is possible to have htmLawed pass 'style' attribute values without even looking at them (section:- #3.4.8).
-
- * htmLawed does not correct certain possible attribute-based security vulnerabilities (e.g., '<a href="http://x%22+style=%22background-image:xss">x</a>'). These arise when browsers mis-identify markup in `escaped` text, defeating the very purpose of escaping text (a bad browser will read the given example as '<a href="http://x" style="background-image:xss">x</a>').
-
- * Because of poor Unicode support in PHP, htmLawed does not remove the `high value` HTML-invalid characters with multi-byte code-points. Such characters however are extremely unlikely to be in the input. (see section:- #3.1).
-
- * htmLawed does not check or correct the character encoding of the input it receives. In conjunction with permitting circumstances such as when the character encoding is left undefined through HTTP headers or HTML 'meta' tags, this can permit an exploit (like Google's UTF-7/XSS vulnerability of the past).
-
- * Like any script using PHP's PCRE regex functions, PHP setup-specific low PCRE limit values can cause htmLawed to at least partially fail with very long input texts.
-
-
--- 2.9 Examples of usage -------------------------------------------o
-
-
- Safest, allowing only `safe` HTML markup --
-
- $config = array('safe'=>1);
- $out = htmLawed($in);
-
- Simplest, allowing all valid HTML markup except 'javascript:' --
-
- $out = htmLawed($in);
-
- Allowing all valid HTML markup including 'javascript:' --
-
- $config = array('schemes'=>'*:*');
- $out = htmLawed($in, $config);
-
- Allowing only 'safe' HTML and the elements 'a', 'em', and 'strong' --
-
- $config = array('safe'=>1, 'elements'=>'a, em, strong');
- $out = htmLawed($in, $config);
-
- Not allowing elements 'script' and 'object' --
-
- $config = array('elements'=>'* -script -object');
- $out = htmLawed($in, $config);
-
- Not allowing attributes 'id' and 'style' --
-
- $config = array('deny_attribute'=>'id, style');
- $out = htmLawed($in, $config);
-
- Permitting only attributes 'title' and 'href' --
-
- $config = array('deny_attribute'=>'* -title -href');
- $out = htmLawed($in, $config);
-
- Remove bad/disallowed tags altogether instead of converting them to entities --
-
- $config = array('keep_bad'=>0);
- $out = htmLawed($in, $config);
-
- Allowing attribute 'title' only in 'a' and not allowing attributes 'id', 'style', or scriptable `on*` attributes like 'onclick' --
-
- $config = array('deny_attribute'=>'title, id, style, on*');
- $spec = 'a=title';
- $out = htmLawed($in, $config, $spec);
-
- Some case-studies are presented below.
-
- *1.* A blog administrator wants to allow only 'a', 'em', 'strike', 'strong' and 'u' in comments, but needs 'strike' and 'u' transformed to 'span' for better XHTML 1-strict compliance, and, he wants the 'a' links to be to 'http' or 'https' resources:
-
- $processed = htmLawed($in, array('elements'=>'a, em, strike, strong, u', 'make_tag_strict'=>1, 'safe'=>1, 'schemes'=>'*:http, https'), 'a=href');
-
- *2.* An author uses a custom-made web application to load content on his web-site. He is the only one using that application and the content he generates has all types of HTML, including scripts. The web application uses htmLawed primarily as a tool to correct errors that creep in while writing HTML and to take care of the occasional `bad` characters in copy-paste text introduced by Microsoft Office. The web application provides a preview before submitted input is added to the content. For the previewing process, htmLawed is set up as follows:
-
- $processed = htmLawed($in, array('css_expression'=>1, 'keep_bad'=>1, 'make_tag_strict'=>1, 'schemes'=>'*:*', 'valid_xhtml'=>1));
-
- For the final submission process, 'keep_bad' is set to '6'. A value of '1' for the preview process allows the author to note and correct any HTML mistake without losing any of the typed text.
-
- *3.* A data-miner is scraping information in a specific table of similar web-pages and is collating the data rows, and uses htmLawed to reduce unnecessary markup and white-spaces:
-
- $processed = htmLawed($in, array('elements'=>'tr, td', 'tidy'=>-1), 'tr, td =');
-
-
-== 3 Details =====================================================oo
-
-
--- 3.1 Invalid/dangerous characters --------------------------------
-
-
- Valid characters (more correctly, their code-points) in HTML or XML are, hexadecimally, '9', 'a', 'd', '20' to 'd7ff', and 'e000' to '10ffff', except 'fffe' and 'ffff' (decimally, '9', '10', '13', '32' to '55295', and '57344' to '1114111', except '65534' and '65535'). htmLawed removes the invalid characters '0' to '8', 'b', 'c', and 'e' to '1f'.
-
- Because of PHP's poor native support for multi-byte characters, htmLawed cannot check for the remaining invalid code-points. However, for various reasons, it is very unlikely for any of those characters to be in the input.
-
- Characters that are discouraged (see section:- #5.1) but not invalid are not removed by htmLawed.
-
- It (function 'hl_tag()') also replaces the potentially dangerous (in some Mozilla [Firefox] and Opera browsers) soft-hyphen character (code-point, hexadecimally, 'ad', or decimally, '173') in attribute values with spaces. Where required, the characters '<', '>', '&', and '"' are converted to entities.
-
- With '$config["clean_ms_char"]' set as '1' or '2', many of the discouraged characters (decimal code-points '127' to '159' except '133') that many Microsoft applications incorrectly use (as per the 'Windows 1252' ['Cp-1252'] or a similar encoding system), and the character for decimal code-point '133', are converted to appropriate decimal numerical entities (or removed for a few cases)-- see appendix in section:- #5.4. This can help avoid some display issues arising from copying-pasting of content.
-
- With '$config["clean_ms_char"]' set as '2', characters for the hexadecimal code-points '82', '91', and '92' (for special single-quotes), and '84', '93', and '94' (for special double-quotes) are converted to ordinary single and double quotes respectively and not to entities.
-
- The character values are replaced with entities/characters and not character values referred to by the entities/characters to keep this task independent of the character-encoding of input text.
-
- The '$config["clean_ms_char"]' parameter should not be used if authors do not copy-paste Microsoft-created text, or if the input text is not believed to use the 'Windows 1252' ('Cp-1252') or a similar encoding like 'Cp-1251'. Further, the input form and the web-pages displaying it or its content should have the character encoding appropriately marked-up.
-
-
--- 3.2 Character references/entities ------------------------------o
-
-
- Valid character entities take the form '&*;' where '*' is '#x' followed by a hexadecimal number (hexadecimal numeric entity; like '&#xA0;' for non-breaking space), or alphanumeric like 'gt' (external or named entity; like '&nbsp;' for non-breaking space), or '#' followed by a number (decimal numeric entity; like '&#160;' for non-breaking space). Character entities referring to the soft-hyphen character (the '&shy;' or '\xad' character; hexadecimal code-point 'ad' [decimal '173']) in URL-accepting attribute values are always replaced with spaces; soft-hyphens in attribute values introduce vulnerabilities in some older versions of the Opera and Mozilla [Firefox] browsers.
-
- htmLawed (function 'hl_ent()'):
-
- * Neutralizes entities with multiple leading zeroes or missing semi-colons (potentially dangerous)
-
- * Lowercases the 'X' (for XML-compliance) and 'A-F' of hexadecimal numeric entities
-
- * Neutralizes entities referring to characters that are HTML-invalid (see section:- #3.1)
-
- * Neutralizes entities referring to characters that are HTML-discouraged (code-points, hexadecimally, '7f' to '84', '86' to '9f', and 'fdd0' to 'fddf', or decimally, '127' to '132', '134' to '159', and '64991' to '64976'). Entities referring to the remaining discouraged characters (see section:- #5.1 for a full list) are let through.
-
- * Neutralizes named entities that are not in the specs.
-
- * Optionally converts valid HTML-specific named entities except '&gt;', '&lt;', '&quot;', and '&amp;' to decimal numeric ones (hexadecimal if $config["hexdec_entity"] is '2') for generic XML-compliance. For this, '$config["named_entity"]' should be '1'.
-
- * Optionally converts hexadecimal numeric entities to the more widely supported decimal ones. For this, '$config["hexdec_entity"]' should be '0'.
-
- * Optionally converts decimal numeric entities to the hexadecimal ones. For this, '$config["hexdec_entity"]' should be '2'.
-
- `Neutralization` refers to the `entitification` of '&' to '&amp;'.
-
- *Note*: htmLawed does not convert entities to the actual characters represented by them; one can pass the htmLawed output through PHP's 'html_entity_decode' function:- http://www.php.net/html_entity_decode for that.
-
- *Note*: If '$config["and_mark"]' is set, and set to a value other than '0', then the '&' characters in the original input are replaced with the control character for the hexadecimal code-point '6' ('\x06'; '&' characters introduced by htmLawed, e.g., after converting '<' to '&lt;', are not affected). This allows one to distinguish, say, an '&gt;' introduced by htmLawed and an '&gt;' put in by the input writer, and can be helpful in further processing of the htmLawed-processed text (e.g., to identify the character sequence 'o(><)o' to generate an emoticon image). When this feature is active, admins should ensure that the htmLawed output is not directly used in web pages or XML documents as the presence of the '\x06' can break documents. Before use in such documents, and preferably before any storage, any remaining '\x06' should be changed back to '&', e.g., with:
-
- $final = str_replace("\x06", '&', $prelim);
-
- Also, see section:- #3.9.
-
-
--- 3.3 HTML elements ----------------------------------------------o
-
-
- htmLawed can be configured to allow only certain HTML elements (tags) in the input. Disallowed elements (just tag-content, and not element-content), based on '$config["keep_bad"]', are either `neutralized` (converted to plain text by entitification of '<' and '>') or removed.
-
- E.g., with only 'em' permitted:
-
- Input:
-
- <em>My</em> website is <a href="http://a.com>a.com</a>.
-
- Output, with '$config["keep_bad"] = 0':
-
- <em>My</em> website is a.com.
-
- Output, with '$config["keep_bad"]' not '0':
-
- <em>My</em> website is &lt;a href=""&gt;a.com&lt;/a&gt;.
-
- See section:- #3.3.3 for differences between the various non-zero '$config["keep_bad"]' values.
-
- htmLawed by default permits these 86 elements:
-
- a, abbr, acronym, address, applet, area, b, bdo, big, blockquote, br, button, caption, center, cite, code, col, colgroup, dd, del, dfn, dir, div, dl, dt, em, embed, fieldset, font, form, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, iframe, img, input, ins, isindex, kbd, label, legend, li, map, menu, noscript, object, ol, optgroup, option, p, param, pre, q, rb, rbc, rp, rt, rtc, ruby, s, samp, script, select, small, span, strike, strong, sub, sup, table, tbody, td, textarea, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, var
-
- Except for 'embed' (included because of its wide-spread use) and the Ruby elements ('rb', 'rbc', 'rp', 'rt', 'rtc', 'ruby'; part of XHTML 1.1), these are all the elements in the HTML 4/XHTML 1 specs. Strict-specific specs. exclude 'center', 'dir', 'font', 'isindex', 'menu', 's', 'strike', and 'u'.
-
- With '$config["safe"] = 1', the default set will exclude 'applet', 'embed', 'iframe', 'object' and 'script'; see section:- #3.6.
-
- When '$config["elements"]', which specifies allowed elements, is `properly` defined, and neither empty nor set to '0' or '*', the default set is not used. To have elements added to or removed from the default set, a '+/-' notation is used. E.g., '*-script-object' implies that only 'script' and 'object' are disallowed, whereas '*+embed' means that 'noembed' is also allowed. Elements can also be specified as comma separated names. E.g., 'a, b, i' means only 'a', 'b' and 'i' are permitted. In this notation, '*', '+' and '-' have no significance and can actually cause a mis-reading.
-
- Some more examples of '$config["elements"]' values indicating permitted elements (note that empty spaces are liberally allowed for clarity):
-
- * 'a, blockquote, code, em, strong' -- only 'a', 'blockquote', 'code', 'em', and 'strong'
- * '*-script' -- all excluding 'script'
- * '* -center -dir -font -isindex -menu -s -strike -u' -- only XHTML-Strict elements
- * '*+noembed-script' -- all including 'noembed' excluding 'script'
-
- Some mis-usages (and the resulting permitted elements) that can be avoided:
-
- * '-*' -- none; instead of htmLawed, one might just use, e.g., the 'htmlspecialchars()' PHP function
- * '*, -script' -- all except 'script'; admin probably meant '*-script'
- * '-*, a, em, strong' -- all; admin probably meant 'a, em, strong'
- * '*' -- all; admin need not have set 'elements'
- * '*-form+form' -- all; a '+' will always over-ride any '-'
- * '*, noembed' -- only 'noembed'; admin probably meant '*+noembed'
- * 'a, +b, i' -- only 'a' and 'i'; admin probably meant 'a, b, i'
-
- Basically, when using the '+/-' notation, commas (',') should not be used, and vice versa, and '*' should be used with the former but not the latter.
-
- *Note*: Even if an element that is not in the default set is allowed through '$config["elements"]', like 'noembed' in the last example, it will eventually be removed during tag balancing unless such balancing is turned off ('$config["balance"]' set to '0'). Currently, the only way around this, which actually is simple, is to edit the various arrays in the function 'hl_bal()' to accommodate the element and its nesting properties.
-
- *A possibly second way to specify allowed elements* is to set '$config["parent"]' to an element name that supposedly will hold the input, and to set '$config["balance"]' to '1'. During tag balancing (see section:- #3.3.3), all elements that cannot legally nest inside the parent element will be removed. The parent element is auto-reset to 'div' if '$config["parent"]' is empty, 'body', or an element not in htmLawed's default set of 86 elements.
-
- `Tag transformation` is possible for improving XHTML-Strict compliance -- most of the deprecated elements are removed or converted to valid XHTML-Strict ones; see section:- #3.3.2.
-
-
-.. 3.3.1 Handling of comments and CDATA sections ...................
-
-
- 'CDATA' sections have the format '<![CDATA[...anything but not "]]>"...]]>', and HTML comments, '<!--...anything but not "-->"... -->'. Neither HTML comments nor 'CDATA' sections can reside inside tags. HTML comments can exist anywhere else, but 'CDATA' sections can exist only where plain text is allowed (e.g., immediately inside 'td' element content but not immediately inside 'tr' element content).
-
- htmLawed (function 'hl_cmtcd()') handles HTML comments or 'CDATA' sections depending on the values of '$config["comment"]' or '$config["cdata"]'. If '0', such markup is not looked for and the text is processed like plain text. If '1', it is removed completely. If '2', it is preserved but any '<', '>' and '&' inside are changed to entities. If '3', they are left as such.
-
- Note that for the last two cases, HTML comments and 'CDATA' sections will always be removed from tag content (function 'hl_tag()').
-
- Examples:
-
- Input:
- <!-- home link --><a href="home.htm"><![CDATA[x=&y]]>Home</a>
- Output ('$config["comment"] = 0, $config["cdata"] = 2'):
- &lt;-- home link --&gt;<a href="home.htm"><![CDATA[x=&amp;y]]>Home</a>
- Output ('$config["comment"] = 1, $config["cdata"] = 2'):
- <a href="home.htm"><![CDATA[x=&amp;y]]>Home</a>
- Output ('$config["comment"] = 2, $config["cdata"] = 2'):
- <!-- home link --><a href="home.htm"><![CDATA[x=&amp;y]]>Home</a>
- Output ('$config["comment"] = 2, $config["cdata"] = 1'):
- <!-- home link --><a href="home.htm">Home</a>
- Output ('$config["comment"] = 3, $config["cdata"] = 3'):
- <!-- home link --><a href="home.htm"><![CDATA[x=&y]]>Home</a>
-
- For standard-compliance, comments are given the form '<!--comment -->', and any '--' in the content is made '-'.
-
- When '$config["safe"] = 1', CDATA sections and comments are considered plain text unless '$config["comment"]' or '$config["cdata"]' is explicitly specified; see section:- #3.6.
-
-
-.. 3.3.2 Tag-transformation for better XHTML-Strict ................o
-
-
- If '$config["make_tag_strict"]' is set and not '0', following non-XHTML-Strict elements (and attributes), even if admin-permitted, are mutated as indicated (element content remains intact; function 'hl_tag2()'):
-
- * applet - (based on '$config["make_tag_strict"]', unchanged ('1') or removed ('2'))
- * center - 'div style="text-align: center;"'
- * dir - 'ul'
- * embed - (based on '$config["make_tag_strict"]', unchanged ('1') or removed ('2'))
- * font (face, size, color) - 'span style="font-family: ; font-size: ; color: ;"' (size transformation reference:- http://style.cleverchimp.com/font_size_intervals/altintervals.html)
- * isindex - (based on '$config["make_tag_strict"]', unchanged ('1') or removed ('2'))
- * menu - 'ul'
- * s - 'span style="text-decoration: line-through;"'
- * strike - 'span style="text-decoration: line-through;"'
- * u - 'span style="text-decoration: underline;"'
-
- For an element with a pre-existing 'style' attribute value, the extra style properties are appended.
-
- Example input:
-
- <center>
- The PHP <s>software</s> script used for this <strike>web-page</strike> web-page is <font style="font-weight: bold " face=arial size='+3' color = "red ">htmLawedTest.php</font>, from <u style= 'color:green'>PHP Labware</u>.
- </center>
-
- The output:
-
- <div style="text-align: center;">
- The PHP <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">software</span> script used for this <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">web-page</span> web-page is <span style="font-weight: bold; font-family: arial; color: red; font-size: 200%;">htmLawedTest.php</span>, from <span style="color:green; text-decoration: underline;">PHP Labware</span>.
- </div>
-
-
--- 3.3.3 Tag balancing and proper nesting -------------------------o
-
-
- If '$config["balance"]' is set to '1', htmLawed (function 'hl_bal()') checks and corrects the input to have properly balanced tags and legal element content (i.e., any element nesting should be valid, and plain text may be present only in the content of elements that allow them).
-
- Depending on the value of '$config["keep_bad"]' (see section:- #2.2 and section:- #3.3), illegal content may be removed or neutralized to plain text by converting < and > to entities:
-
- '0' - remove; this option is available only to maintain Kses-compatibility and should not be used otherwise (see section:- #2.6)
- '1' - neutralize tags and keep element content
- '2' - remove tags but keep element content
- '3' and '4' - like '1' and '2', but keep element content only if text ('pcdata') is valid in parent element as per specs
- '5' and '6' - like '3' and '4', but line-breaks, tabs and spaces are left
-
- Example input (disallowing the 'p' element):
-
- <*> Pseudo-tags <*>
- <xml>Non-HTML tag xml</xml>
- <p>
- Disallowed tag p
- </p>
- <ul>Bad<li>OK</li></ul>
-
- The output with '$config["keep_bad"] = 1':
-
- &lt;*&gt; Pseudo-tags &lt;*&gt;
- &lt;xml&gt;Non-HTML tag xml&lt;/xml&gt;
- &lt;p&gt;
- Disallowed tag p
- &lt;/p&gt;
- <ul>Bad<li>OK</li></ul>
-
- The output with '$config["keep_bad"] = 3':
-
- &lt;*&gt; Pseudo-tags &lt;*&gt;
- &lt;xml&gt;Non-HTML tag xml&lt;/xml&gt;
- &lt;p&gt;
- Disallowed tag p
- &lt;/p&gt;
- <ul><li>OK</li></ul>
-
- The output with '$config["keep_bad"] = 6':
-
- &lt;*&gt; Pseudo-tags &lt;*&gt;
- Non-HTML tag xml
-
- Disallowed tag p
-
- <ul><li>OK</li></ul>
-
- An option like '1' is useful, e.g., when a writer previews his submission, whereas one like '3' is useful before content is finalized and made available to all.
-
- *Note:* In the example above, unlike '<*>', '<xml>' gets considered as a tag (even though there is no HTML element named 'xml'). In general, text matching the regular expression pattern '<(/?)([a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z1-6]*)([^>]*?)\s?>' is considered a tag (phrase enclosed by the angled brackets '<' and '>', and starting [with an optional slash preceding] with an alphanumeric word that starts with an alphabet...).
-
- Nesting/content rules for each of the 86 elements in htmLawed's default set (see section:- #3.3) are defined in function 'hl_bal()'. This means that if a non-standard element besides 'embed' is being permitted through '$config["elements"]', the element's tag content will end up getting removed if '$config["balance"]' is set to '1'.
-
- Plain text and/or certain elements nested inside 'blockquote', 'form', 'map' and 'noscript' need to be in block-level elements. This point is often missed during manual writing of HTML code. htmLawed attempts to address this during balancing. E.g., if the parent container is set as 'form', the input 'B:<input type="text" value="b" />C:<input type="text" value="c" />' is converted to '<div>B:<input type="text" value="b" />C:<input type="text" value="c" /></div>'.
-
-
--- 3.3.4 Elements requiring child elements ------------------------o
-
-
- As per specs, the following elements require legal child elements nested inside them:
-
- blockquote, dir, dl, form, map, menu, noscript, ol, optgroup, rbc, rtc, ruby, select, table, tbody, tfoot, thead, tr, ul
-
- In some cases, the specs stipulate the number and/or the ordering of the child elements. A 'table' can have 0 or 1 'caption', 'tbody', 'tfoot', and 'thead', but they must be in this order: 'caption', 'thead', 'tfoot', 'tbody'.
-
- htmLawed currently does not check for conformance to these rules. Note that any non-compliance in this regard will not introduce security vulnerabilities, crash browser applications, or affect the rendering of web-pages.
-
- With '$config["direct_list_nest"]' set to '1', htmLawed will allow direct nesting of an 'ol' or 'ul' list within another 'ol' or 'ul' without requiring the child list to be within an 'li' of the parent list. While this is not standard-compliant, directly nested lists are rendered properly by almost all browsers. The parameter '$config["direct_list_nest"]' has no effect if tag-balancing (section:- #3.3.3) is turned off.
-
-
--- 3.3.5 Beautify or compact HTML ---------------------------------o
-
-
- By default, htmLawed will neither `beautify` HTML code by formatting it with indentations, etc., nor will it make it compact by removing un-needed white-space.(It does always properly white-space tag content.)
-
- As per the HTML standards, spaces, tabs and line-breaks in web-pages (except those inside 'pre' elements) are all considered equivalent, and referred to as `white-spaces`. Browser applications are supposed to consider contiguous white-spaces as just a single space, and to disregard white-spaces trailing opening tags or preceding closing tags. This white-space `normalization` allows the use of text/code beautifully formatted with indentations and line-spacings for readability. Such `pretty` HTML can, however, increase the size of web-pages, or make the extraction or scraping of plain text cumbersome.
-
- With the '$config' parameter 'tidy', htmLawed can be used to beautify or compact the input text. Input with just plain text and no HTML markup is also subject to this. Besides 'pre', the 'script' and 'textarea' elements, CDATA sections, and HTML comments are not subjected to the tidying process.
-
- To `compact`, use '$config["tidy"] = -1'; single instances or runs of white-spaces are replaced with a single space, and white-spaces trailing and leading open and closing tags, respectively, are removed.
-
- To `beautify`, '$config["tidy"]' is set as '1', or for customized tidying, as a string like '2s2n'. The 's' or 't' character specifies the use of spaces or tabs for indentation. The first and third characters, any of the digits 0-9, specify the number of spaces or tabs per indentation, and any parental lead spacing (extra indenting of the whole block of input text). The 'r' and 'n' characters are used to specify line-break characters: 'n' for '\n' (Unix/Mac OS X line-breaks), 'rn' or 'nr' for '\r\n' (Windows/DOS line-breaks), or 'r' for '\r'.
-
- The '$config["tidy"]' value of '1' is equivalent to '2s0n'. Other '$config["tidy"]' values are read loosely: a value of '4' is equivalent to '4s0n'; 't2', to '1t2n'; 's', to '2s0n'; '2TR', to '2t0r'; 'T1', to '1t1n'; 'nr3', to '3s0nr', and so on. Except in the indentations and line-spacings, runs of white-spaces are replaced with a single space during beautification.
-
- Input formatting using '$config["tidy"]' is not recommended when input text has mixed markup (like HTML + PHP).
-
-
--- 3.4 Attributes ------------------------------------------------oo
-
-
- htmLawed will only permit attributes described in the HTML specs (including deprecated ones). It also permits some attributes for use with the 'embed' element (the non-standard 'embed' element is supported in htmLawed because of its widespread use), and the the 'xml:space' attribute (valid only in XHTML 1.1). A list of such 111 attributes and the elements they are allowed in is in section:- #5.2.
-
- When '$config["deny_attribute"]' is not set, or set to '0', or empty ('""'), all the 111 attributes are permitted. Otherwise, '$config["deny_attribute"]' can be set as a list of comma-separated names of the denied attributes. 'on*' can be used to refer to the group of potentially dangerous, script-accepting attributes: 'onblur', 'onchange', 'onclick', 'ondblclick', 'onfocus', 'onkeydown', 'onkeypress', 'onkeyup', 'onmousedown', 'onmousemove', 'onmouseout', 'onmouseover', 'onmouseup', 'onreset', 'onselect' and 'onsubmit'.
-
- Note that attributes specified in '$config["deny_attribute"]' are denied globally, for all elements. To deny attributes for only specific elements, '$spec' (see section:- #2.3) can be used. '$spec' can also be used to element-specifically permit an attribute otherwise denied through '$config["deny_attribute"]'.
-
- With '$config["safe"] = 1' (section:- #3.6), the 'on*' attributes are automatically disallowed.
-
- *Note*: To deny all but a few attributes globally, a simpler way to specify '$config["deny_attribute"]' would be to use the notation '* -attribute1 -attribute2 ...'. Thus, a value of '* -title -href' implies that except 'href' and 'title' (where allowed as per standards) all other attributes are to be removed. With this notation, the value for the parameter 'safe' (section:- #3.6) will have no effect on 'deny_attribute'.
-
- htmLawed (function 'hl_tag()') also:
-
- * Lower-cases attribute names
- * Removes duplicate attributes (last one stays)
- * Gives attributes the form 'name="value"' and single-spaces them, removing unnecessary white-spacing
- * Provides `required` attributes (see section:- #3.4.1)
- * Double-quotes values and escapes any '"' inside them
- * Replaces the possibly dangerous soft-hyphen characters (hexadecimal code-point 'ad') in the values with spaces
- * Allows custom function to additionally filter/modify attribute values (see section:- #3.4.9)
-
-
-.. 3.4.1 Auto-addition of XHTML-required attributes ................
-
-
- If indicated attributes for the following elements are found missing, htmLawed (function 'hl_tag()') will add them (with values same as attribute names unless indicated otherwise below):
-
- * area - alt ('area')
- * area, img - src, alt ('image')
- * bdo - dir ('ltr')
- * form - action
- * map - name
- * optgroup - label
- * param - name
- * script - type ('text/javascript')
- * textarea - rows ('10'), cols ('50')
-
- Additionally, with '$config["xml:lang"]' set to '1' or '2', if the 'lang' but not the 'xml:lang' attribute is declared, then the latter is added too, with a value copied from that of 'lang'. This is for better standard-compliance. With '$config["xml:lang"]' set to '2', the 'lang' attribute is removed (XHTML 1.1 specs).
-
- Note that the 'name' attribute for 'map', invalid in XHTML 1.1, is also transformed if required -- see section:- #3.4.6.
-
-
-.. 3.4.2 Duplicate/invalid 'id' values ............................o
-
-
- If '$config["unique_ids"]' is '1', htmLawed (function 'hl_tag()') removes 'id' attributes with values that are not XHTML-compliant (must begin with a letter and can contain letters, digits, ':', '.', '-' and '_') or duplicate. If '$config["unique_ids"]' is a word, any duplicate but otherwise valid value will be appropriately prefixed with the word to ensure its uniqueness. The word should begin with a letter and should contain only letters, numbers, ':', '.', '_' and '-'.
-
- Even if multiple inputs need to be filtered (through multiple calls to htmLawed), htmLawed ensures uniqueness of 'id' values as it uses a global variable ('$GLOBALS["hl_Ids"]' array). Further, an admin can restrict the use of certain 'id' values by presetting this variable before htmLawed is called into use. E.g.:
-
- $GLOBALS['hl_Ids'] = array('top'=>1, 'bottom'=>1, 'myform'=>1); // id values not allowed in input
- $processed = htmLawed($text); // filter input
-
-
-.. 3.4.3 URL schemes (protocols) and scripts in attribute values ............o
-
-
- htmLawed edits attributes that take URLs as values if they are found to contain un-permitted schemes. E.g., if the 'afp' scheme is not permitted, then '<a href="afp://domain.org">' becomes '<a href="denied:afp://domain.org">', and if Javascript is not permitted '<a onclick="javascript:xss();">' becomes '<a onclick="denied:javascript:xss();">'.
-
- By default htmLawed permits these schemes in URLs for the 'href' attribute:
-
- aim, feed, file, ftp, gopher, http, https, irc, mailto, news, nntp, sftp, ssh, telnet
-
- Also, only 'file', 'http' and 'https' are permitted in attributes whose names start with 'o' (like 'onmouseover'), and in these attributes that accept URLs:
-
- action, cite, classid, codebase, data, href, longdesc, model, pluginspage, pluginurl, src, style, usemap
-
- These default sets are used when '$config["schemes"]' is not set (see section:- #2.2). To over-ride the defaults, '$config["schemes"]' is defined as a string of semi-colon-separated sub-strings of type 'attribute: comma-separated schemes'. E.g., 'href: mailto, http, https; onclick: javascript; src: http, https'. For unspecified attributes, 'file', 'http' and 'https' are permitted. This can be changed by passing schemes for '*' in '$config["schemes"]'. E.g., 'href: mailto, http, https; *: https, https'.
-
- '*' can be put in the list of schemes to permit all protocols. E.g., 'style: *; img: http, https' results in protocols not being checked in 'style' attribute values. However, in such cases, any relative-to-absolute URL conversion, or vice versa, (section:- #3.4.4) is not done.
-
- Thus, `to allow Javascript`, one can set '$config["schemes"]' as 'href: mailto, http, https; *: http, https, javascript', or 'href: mailto, http, https, javascript; *: http, https, javascript', or '*: *', and so on.
-
- As a side-note, one may find 'style: *' useful as URLs in 'style' attributes can be specified in a variety of ways, and the patterns that htmLawed uses to identify URLs may mistakenly identify non-URL text.
-
- '!' can be put in the list of schemes to disallow all protocols as well as `local` URLs. Thus, with 'href: http, style: !', '<a href="http://cnn.com" style="background-image: url('local.jpg');">CNN</a>' will become '<a href="http://cnn.com" style="background-image: url('denied:local.jpg');">CNN</a>'.
-
- *Note*: If URL-accepting attributes other than those listed above are being allowed, then the scheme will not be checked unless the attribute name contains the string 'src' (e.g., 'dynsrc') or starts with 'o' (e.g., 'onbeforecopy').
-
- With '$config["safe"] = 1', all URLs are disallowed in the 'style' attribute values.
-
-
-.. 3.4.4 Absolute & relative URLs in attribute values .............o
-
-
- htmLawed can make absolute URLs in attributes like 'href' relative ('$config["abs_url"]' is '-1'), and vice versa ('$config["abs_url"]' is '1'). URLs in scripts are not considered for this, and so are URLs like '#section_6' (fragment), '?name=Tim#show' (starting with query string), and ';var=1?name=Tim#show' (starting with parameters). Further, this requires that '$config["base_url"]' be set properly, with the '://' and a trailing slash ('/'), with no query string, etc. E.g., 'file:///D:/page/', 'https://abc.com/x/y/', or 'http://localhost/demo/' are okay, but 'file:///D:/page/?help=1', 'abc.com/x/y/' and 'http://localhost/demo/index.htm' are not.
-
- For making absolute URLs relative, only those URLs that have the '$config["base_url"]' string at the beginning are converted. E.g., with '$config["base_url"] = "https://abc.com/x/y/"', 'https://abc.com/x/y/a.gif' and 'https://abc.com/x/y/z/b.gif' become 'a.gif' and 'z/b.gif' respectively, while 'https://abc.com/x/c.gif' is not changed.
-
- When making relative URLs absolute, only values for scheme, network location (host-name) and path values in the base URL are inherited. See section:- #5.5 for more about the URL specification as per RFC 1808:- http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1808.txt.
-
-
-.. 3.4.5 Lower-cased, standard attribute values ....................o
-
-
- Optionally, for standard-compliance, htmLawed (function 'hl_tag()') lower-cases standard attribute values to give, e.g., 'input type="password"' instead of 'input type="Password"', if '$config["lc_std_val"]' is '1'. Attribute values matching those listed below for any of the elements (plus those for the 'type' attribute of 'button' or 'input') are lower-cased:
-
- all, baseline, bottom, button, center, char, checkbox, circle, col, colgroup, cols, data, default, file, get, groups, hidden, image, justify, left, ltr, middle, none, object, password, poly, post, preserve, radio, rect, ref, reset, right, row, rowgroup, rows, rtl, submit, text, top
-
- a, area, bdo, button, col, form, img, input, object, option, optgroup, param, script, select, table, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, xml:space
-
- The following `empty` (`minimized`) attributes are always assigned lower-cased values (same as the names):
-
- checked, compact, declare, defer, disabled, ismap, multiple, nohref, noresize, noshade, nowrap, readonly, selected
-
-
-.. 3.4.6 Transformation of deprecated attributes ..................o
-
-
- If '$config["no_deprecated_attr"]' is '0', then deprecated attributes (see appendix in section:- #5.2) are removed and, in most cases, their values are transformed to CSS style properties and added to the 'style' attributes (function 'hl_tag()'). Except for 'bordercolor' for 'table', 'tr' and 'td', the scores of proprietary attributes that were never part of any cross-browser standard are not supported.
-
- *Note*: The attribute 'target' for 'a' is allowed even though it is not in XHTML 1.0 specs. This is because of the attribute's wide-spread use and browser-support, and because the attribute is valid in XHTML 1.1 onwards.
-
- * align - for 'img' with value of 'left' or 'right', becomes, e.g., 'float: left'; for 'div' and 'table' with value 'center', becomes 'margin: auto'; all others become, e.g., 'text-align: right'
-
- * bgcolor - E.g., 'bgcolor="#ffffff"' becomes 'background-color: #ffffff'
- * border - E.g., 'height= "10"' becomes 'height: 10px'
- * bordercolor - E.g., 'bordercolor=#999999' becomes 'border-color: #999999;'
- * compact - 'font-size: 85%'
- * clear - E.g., 'clear="all" becomes 'clear: both'
-
- * height - E.g., 'height= "10"' becomes 'height: 10px' and 'height="*"' becomes 'height: auto'
-
- * hspace - E.g., 'hspace="10"' becomes 'margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px'
- * language - 'language="VBScript"' becomes 'type="text/vbscript"'
- * name - E.g., 'name="xx"' becomes 'id="xx"'
- * noshade - 'border-style: none; border: 0; background-color: gray; color: gray'
- * nowrap - 'white-space: nowrap'
- * size - E.g., 'size="10"' becomes 'height: 10px'
- * start - removed
- * type - E.g., 'type="i"' becomes 'list-style-type: lower-roman'
- * value - removed
- * vspace - E.g., 'vspace="10"' becomes 'margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px'
- * width - like 'height'
-
- Example input:
-
- <img src="j.gif" alt="image" name="dad's" /><img src="k.gif" alt="image" id="dad_off" name="dad" />
- <br clear="left" />
- <hr noshade size="1" />
- <img name="img" src="i.gif" align="left" alt="image" hspace="10" vspace="10" width="10em" height="20" border="1" style="padding:5px;" />
- <table width="50em" align="center" bgcolor="red">
- <tr>
- <td width="20%">
- <div align="center">
- <h3 align="right">Section</h3>
- <p align="right">Para</p>
- <ol type="a" start="e"><li value="x">First item</li></ol>
- </div>
- </td>
- <td width="*">
- <ol type="1"><li>First item</li></ol>
- </td>
- </tr>
- </table>
- <br clear="all" />
-
- And the output with '$config["no_deprecated_attr"] = 1':
-
- <img src="j.gif" alt="image" /><img src="k.gif" alt="image" id="dad_off" />
- <br style="clear: left;" />
- <hr style="border-style: none; border: 0; background-color: gray; color: gray; size: 1px;" />
- <img src="i.gif" alt="image" width="10em" height="20" style="padding:5px; float: left; margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px; margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; border: 1px;" id="img" />
- <table width="50em" style="margin: auto; background-color: red;">
- <tr>
- <td style="width: 20%;">
- <div style="margin: auto;">
- <h3 style="text-align: right;">Section</h3>
- <p style="text-align: right;">Para</p>
- <ol style="list-style-type: lower-latin;"><li>First item</li></ol>
- </div>
- </td>
- <td style="width: auto;">
- <ol style="list-style-type: decimal;"><li>First item</li></ol>
- </td>
- </tr>
- </table>
- <br style="clear: both;" />
-
- For 'lang', deprecated in XHTML 1.1, transformation is taken care of through '$config["xml:lang"]'; see section:- #3.4.1.
-
- The attribute 'name' is deprecated in 'form', 'iframe', and 'img', and is replaced with 'id' if an 'id' attribute doesn't exist and if the 'name' value is appropriate for 'id'. For such replacements for 'a' and 'map', for which the 'name' attribute is deprecated in XHTML 1.1, '$config["no_deprecated_attr"]' should be set to '2' (when set to '1', for these two elements, the 'name' attribute is retained).
-
-
--- 3.4.7 Anti-spam & 'href' ---------------------------------------o
-
-
- htmLawed (function 'hl_tag()') can check the 'href' attribute values (link addresses) as an anti-spam (email or link spam) measure.
-
- If '$config["anti_mail_spam"]' is not '0', the '@' of email addresses in 'href' values like 'mailto:a@b.com' is replaced with text specified by '$config["anti_mail_spam"]'. The text should be of a form that makes it clear to others that the address needs to be edited before a mail is sent; e.g., '<remove_this_antispam>@' (makes the example address 'a<remove_this_antispam>@b.com').
-
- For regular links, one can choose to have a 'rel' attribute with 'nofollow' in its value (which tells some search engines to not follow a link). This can discourage link spammers. Additionally, or as an alternative, one can choose to empty the 'href' value altogether (disable the link).
-
- For use of these options, '$config["anti_link_spam"]' should be set as an array with values 'regex1' and 'regex2', both or one of which can be empty (like 'array("", "regex2")') to indicate that that option is not to be used. Otherwise, 'regex1' or 'regex2' should be PHP- and PCRE-compatible regular expression patterns: 'href' values will be matched against them and those matching the pattern will accordingly be treated.
-
- Note that the regular expressions should have `delimiters`, and be well-formed and preferably fast. Absolute efficiency/accuracy is often not needed.
-
- An example, to have a 'rel' attribute with 'nofollow' for all links, and to disable links that do not point to domains 'abc.com' and 'xyz.org':
-
- $config["anti_link_spam"] = array('`.`', '`://\W*(?!(abc\.com|xyz\.org))`');
-
-
--- 3.4.8 Inline style properties ----------------------------------o
-
-
- htmLawed can check URL schemes and dynamic expressions (to guard against Javascript, etc., script-based insecurities) in inline CSS style property values in the 'style' attributes. (CSS properties like 'background-image' that accept URLs in their values are noted in section:- #5.3.) Dynamic CSS expressions that allow scripting in the IE browser, and can be a vulnerability, can be removed from property values by setting '$config["css_expression"]' to '1' (default setting). Note that when '$config["css_expression"]' is set to '1', htmLawed will remove '/*' from the 'style' values.
-
- *Note*: Because of the various ways of representing characters in attribute values (URL-escapement, entitification, etc.), htmLawed might alter the values of the 'style' attribute values, and may even falsely identify dynamic CSS expressions and URL schemes in them. If this is an important issue, checking of URLs and dynamic expressions can be turned off ('$config["schemes"] = "...style:*..."', see section:- #3.4.3, and '$config["css_expression"] = 0'). Alternately, admins can use their own custom function for finer handling of 'style' values through the 'hook_tag' parameter (see section:- #3.4.9).
-
- It is also possible to have htmLawed let through any 'style' value by setting '$config["style_pass"]' to '1'.
-
- As such, it is better to set up a CSS file with class declarations, disallow the 'style' attribute, set a '$spec' rule (see section:- #2.3) for 'class' for the 'oneof' or 'match' parameter, and ask writers to make use of the 'class' attribute.
-
-
--- 3.4.9 Hook function for tag content ----------------------------o
-
-
- It is possible to utilize a custom hook function to alter the tag content htmLawed has finalized (i.e., after it has checked/corrected for required attributes, transformed attributes, lower-cased attribute names, etc.).
-
- When '$config' parameter 'hook_tag' is set to the name of a function, htmLawed (function 'hl_tag()') will pass on the element name, and, in the case of an opening tag, the `finalized` attribute name-value pairs as array elements to the function. The function, after completing a task such as filtering or tag transformation, will typically return an empty string, the full opening tag string like '<element_name attribute_1_name="attribute_1_value"...>' (for empty elements like 'img' and 'input', the element-closing slash '/' should also be included), etc.
-
- Any 'hook_tag' function, since htmLawed version 1.1.11, also receives names of elements in closing tags, such as 'a' in the closing '</a>' tag of the element '<a href="http://cnn.com">CNN</a>'. Unlike for opening tags, no other value (i.e., the attribute name-value array) is passed to the function since a closing tag contains only element names. Typically, the function will return an empty string or a full closing tag (like '</a>').
-
- This is a *powerful functionality* that can be exploited for various objectives: consolidate-and-convert inline 'style' attributes to 'class', convert 'embed' elements to 'object', permit only one 'caption' element in a 'table' element, disallow embedding of certain types of media, *inject HTML*, use CSSTidy:- http://csstidy.sourceforge.net to sanitize 'style' attribute values, etc.
-
- As an example, the custom hook code below can be used to force a series of specifically ordered 'id' attributes on all elements, and a specific 'param' element inside all 'object' elements:
-
- function my_tag_function($element, $attribute_array=0){
-
- // If second argument is not received, it means a closing tag is being handled
- if(is_numeric($attribute_array)){
- return "</$element>";
- }
-
- static $id = 0;
- // Remove any duplicate element
- if($element == 'param' && isset($attribute_array['allowscriptaccess'])){
- return '';
- }
-
- $new_element = '';
-
- // Force a serialized ID number
- $attribute_array['id'] = 'my_'. $id;
- ++$id;
-
- // Inject param for allowscriptaccess
- if($element == 'object'){
- $new_element = '<param id='my_'. $id; allowscriptaccess="never" />';
- ++$id;
- }
-
- $string = '';
- foreach($attribute_array as $k=>$v){
- $string .= " {$k}=\"{$v}\"";
- }
-
- static $empty_elements = array('area'=>1, 'br'=>1, 'col'=>1, 'embed'=>1, 'hr'=>1, 'img'=>1, 'input'=>1, 'isindex'=>1, 'param'=>1);
-
- return "<{$element}{$string}". (isset($in_array($element, $empty_elements) ? ' /' : ''). '>'. $new_element;
- }
-
- The 'hook_tag' parameter is different from the 'hook' parameter (section:- #3.7).
-

-
--- 3.5 Simple configuration directive for most valid XHTML -------oo
-
-
- If '$config["valid_xhtml"]' is set to '1', some relevant '$config' parameters (indicated by '~' in section:- #2.2) are auto-adjusted. This allows one to pass the '$config' argument with a simpler value. If a value for a parameter auto-set through 'valid_xhtml' is still manually provided, then that value will over-ride the auto-set value.
-
-
--- 3.6 Simple configuration directive for most `safe` HTML --------o
-
-
- `Safe` HTML refers to HTML that is restricted to reduce the vulnerability for scripting attacks (such as XSS) based on HTML code which otherwise may still be legal and compliant with the HTML standard specs. When elements such as 'script' and 'object', and attributes such as 'onmouseover' and 'style' are allowed in the input text, an input writer can introduce malevolent HTML code. Note that what is considered 'safe' depends on the nature of the web application and the trust-level accorded to its users.
-
- htmLawed allows an admin to use '$config["safe"]' to auto-adjust multiple '$config' parameters (such as 'elements' which declares the allowed element-set), which otherwise would have to be manually set. The relevant parameters are indicated by '"' in section:- #2.2). Thus, one can pass the '$config' argument with a simpler value.
-
- With the value of '1', htmLawed considers 'CDATA' sections and HTML comments as plain text, and prohibits the 'applet', 'embed', 'iframe', 'object' and 'script' elements, and the 'on*' attributes like 'onclick'. ( There are '$config' parameters like 'css_expression' that are not affected by the value set for 'safe' but whose default values still contribute towards a more `safe` output.) Further, URLs with schemes (see section:- #3.4.3) are neutralized so that, e.g., 'style="moz-binding:url(http://danger)"' becomes 'style="moz-binding:url(denied:http://danger)"'.
-
- Admins, however, may still want to completely deny the 'style' attribute, e.g., with code like
-
- $processed = htmLawed($text, array('safe'=>1, 'deny_attribute'=>'style'));
-
- Permitting the 'style' attribute brings in risks of `click-jacking`, etc. CSS property values can render a page non-functional or be used to deface it. Except for URLs, dynamic expressions, and some other things, htmLawed does not completely check 'style' values. It does provide ways for the code-developer implementing htmLawed to do such checks through the '$spec' argument, and through the 'hook_tag' parameter (see section:- #3.4.8 for more). Disallowing style completely and relying on CSS classes and stylesheet files is recommended.
-
- If a value for a parameter auto-set through 'safe' is still manually provided, then that value can over-ride the auto-set value. E.g., with '$config["safe"] = 1' and '$config["elements"] = "*+script"', 'script', but not 'applet', is allowed.
-
- A page illustrating the efficacy of htmLawed's anti-XSS abilities with 'safe' set to '1' against XSS vectors listed by RSnake:- http://ha.ckers.org/xss.html may be available here:- http://www.bioinformatics.org/phplabware/internal_utilities/htmLawed/rsnake/RSnakeXSSTest.htm.
-
-
--- 3.7 Using a hook function --------------------------------------o
-
-
- If '$config["hook"]' is not set to '0', then htmLawed will allow preliminarily processed input to be altered by a hook function named by '$config["hook"]' before starting the main work (but after handling of characters, entities, HTML comments and 'CDATA' sections -- see code for function 'htmLawed()').
-
- The hook function also allows one to alter the `finalized` values of '$config' and '$spec'.
-
- Note that the 'hook' parameter is different from the 'hook_tag' parameter (section:- #3.4.9).
-
- Snippets of hook function code developed by others may be available on the htmLawed:- http://www.bioinformatics.org/phplabware/internal_utilities/htmLawed website.
-
-
--- 3.8 Obtaining `finalized` parameter values ---------------------o
-
-
- htmLawed can assign the `finalized` '$config' and '$spec' values to a variable named by '$config["show_setting"]'. The variable, made global by htmLawed, is set as an array with three keys: 'config', with the '$config' value, 'spec', with the '$spec' value, and 'time', with a value that is the Unix time (the output of PHP's 'microtime()' function) when the value was assigned. Admins should use a PHP-compliant variable name (e.g., one that does not begin with a numerical digit) that does not conflict with variable names in their non-htmLawed code.
-
- The values, which are also post-hook function (if any), can be used to auto-generate information (on, e.g., the elements that are permitted) for input writers.
-
-
--- 3.9 Retaining non-HTML tags in input with mixed markup ---------o
-
-
- htmLawed does not remove certain characters that though invalid are nevertheless discouraged in HTML documents as per the specs (see section:- #5.1). This can be utilized to deal with input that contains mixed markup. Input that may have HTML markup as well as some other markup that is based on the '<', '>' and '&' characters is considered to have mixed markup. The non-HTML markup can be rather proprietary (like markup for emoticons/smileys), or standard (like MathML or SVG). Or it can be programming code meant for execution/evaluation (such as embedded PHP code).
-
- To deal with such mixed markup, the input text can be pre-processed to hide the non-HTML markup by specifically replacing the '<', '>' and '&' characters with some of the HTML-discouraged characters (see section:- #3.1.2). Post-htmLawed processing, the replacements are reverted.
-
- An example (mixed HTML and PHP code in input text):
-
- $text = preg_replace('`<\?php(.+?)\?>`sm', "\x83?php\\1?\x84", $text);
- $processed = htmLawed($text);
- $processed = preg_replace('`\x83\?php(.+?)\?\x84`sm', '<?php$1?>', $processed);
-
- This code will not work if '$config["clean_ms_char"]' is set to '1' (section:- #3.1), in which case one should instead deploy a hook function (section:- #3.7). (htmLawed internally uses certain control characters, code-points '1' to '7', and use of these characters as markers in the logic of hook functions may cause issues.)
-
- Admins may also be able to use '$config["and_mark"]' to deal with such mixed markup; see section:- #3.2.

-
-
--- 4.4 Testing ----------------------------------------------------o
-
-
- To test htmLawed using a form interface, a demo:- htmLawedTest.php web-page is provided with the htmLawed distribution ('htmLawed.php' and 'htmLawedTest.php' should be in the same directory on the web-server). A file with test-cases:- htmLawed_TESTCASE.txt is also provided.
-
-
--- 4.5 Upgrade, & old versions ------------------------------------o
-
-
- Upgrading is as simple as replacing the previous version of 'htmLawed.php' (assuming it was not modified for customized features). As htmLawed output is almost always used in static documents, upgrading should not affect old, finalized content.
-
- *Important* The following upgrades may affect the functionality of a specific htmLawed as indicated by their corresponding notes:
-
- (1) From version 1.1-1.1.10 to 1.1.11, if a 'hook_tag' function is in use: In version 1.1.11, elements in closing tags (and not just the opening tags) are also passed to the function. There are no attribute names/values to pass, so a 'hook_tag' function receives only the element name. The 'hook_tag' function therefore may have to be edited. See section:- #3.4.9.
-
- Old versions of htmLawed may be available online. E.g., for version 1.0, check http://www.bioinformatics.org/phplabware/downloads/htmLawed1.zip, for 1.1.1, htmLawed111.zip, and for 1.1.10, htmLawed1110.zip.
-
-
--- 4.6 Comparison with 'HTMLPurifier' -----------------------------o
-
-
- The HTMLPurifier PHP library by Edward Yang is a very good HTML filtering script that uses object oriented PHP code. Compared to htmLawed, it (as of mid-2009):
-
- * does not support PHP versions older than 5.0 (HTMLPurifier dropped PHP 4 support after version 2)
-
- * is 15-20 times bigger (scores of files totalling more than 750 kb)
-
- * consumes 10-15 times more RAM memory (just including the HTMLPurifier files without calling the filter requires a few MBs of memory)
-
- * is expectedly slower
-
- * does not allow admins to fully allow all valid HTML (because of incomplete HTML support, it always considers elements like 'script' illegal)
-
- * lacks many of the extra features of htmLawed (like entity conversions and code compaction/beautification)
-
- * has poor documentation
-
- However, HTMLPurifier has finer checks for character encodings and attribute values, and can log warnings and errors. Visit the HTMLPurifier website:- http://htmlpurifier.org for updated information.
-
-
--- 4.7 Use through application plug-ins/modules -------------------o
-
-
- Plug-ins/modules to implement htmLawed in applications such as Drupal and DokuWiki may have been developed. Please check the application websites and the forum on the htmLawed site:- http://www.bioinformatics.org/phplabware/internal_utilities/htmLawed.
-
-
--- 4.8 Use in non-PHP applications --------------------------------o
-
-
- Non-PHP applications written in Python, Ruby, etc., may be able to use htmLawed through system calls to the PHP engine. Such code may have been documented on the internet. Also check the forum on the htmLawed site:- http://www.bioinformatics.org/phplabware/internal_utilities/htmLawed.

--- 5.5 URL format -------------------------------------------------o
-
-
- An `absolute` URL has a 'protocol' or 'scheme', a 'network location' or 'hostname', and, optional 'path', 'parameters', 'query' and 'fragment' segments. Thus, an absolute URL has this generic structure:
-
- (scheme) : (//network location) /(path) ;(parameters) ?(query) #(fragment)
-
- The schemes can only contain letters, digits, '+', '.' and '-'. Hostname is the portion after the '//' and up to the first '/' (if any; else, up to the end) when ':' is followed by a '//' (e.g., 'abc.com' in 'ftp://abc.com/def'); otherwise, it consists of everything after the ':' (e.g., 'def@abc.com' in mailto:def@abc.com').
-
- `Relative` URLs do not have explicit schemes and network locations; such values are inherited from a `base` URL.
-
-
--- 5.6 Brief on htmLawed code -------------------------------------o
-
-
- Much of the code's logic and reasoning can be understood from the documentation above.
-
- The *output* of htmLawed is a text string containing the processed input. There is no custom error tracking.
-
- *Function arguments* for htmLawed are:
-
- * '$in' - 1st argument; a text string; the *input text* to be processed. Any extraneous slashes added by PHP when `magic quotes` are enabled should be removed beforehand using PHP's 'stripslashes()' function.
-
- * '$config' - 2nd argument; an associative array; optional (named '$C' in htmLawed code). The array has keys with names like 'balance' and 'keep_bad', and the values, which can be boolean, string, or array, depending on the key, are read to accordingly set the *configurable parameters* (indicated by the keys). All configurable parameters receive some default value if the value to be used is not specified by the user through '$config'. `Finalized` '$config' is thus a filtered and possibly larger array.
-
- * '$spec' - 3rd argument; a text string; optional. The string has rules, written in an htmLawed-designated format, *specifying* element-specific attribute and attribute value restrictions. Function 'hl_spec()' is used to convert the string to an associative-array for internal use. `Finalized` '$spec' is thus an array.
-
- `Finalized` '$config' and '$spec' are made *global variables* while htmLawed is at work. Values of any pre-existing global variables with same names are noted, and their values are restored after htmLawed finishes processing the input (to capture the `finalized` values, the 'show_settings' parameter of '$config' should be used). Depending on '$config', another global variable 'hl_Ids', to track 'id' attribute values for uniqueness, may be set. Unlike the other two variables, this one is not reset (or unset) post-processing.
-
- Except for the main function 'htmLawed()' and the functions 'kses()' and 'kses_hook()', htmLawed's functions are *name-spaced* using the 'hl_' prefix. The *functions* and their roles are:
-
- * 'hl_attrval' - checking attribute values against $spec
- * 'hl_bal' - tag balancing
- * 'hl_cmtcd' - handling CDATA sections and HTML comments
- * 'hl_ent' - entity handling
- * 'hl_prot' - checking a URL scheme/protocol
- * 'hl_regex' - checking syntax of a regular expression
- * 'hl_spec' - converting user-supplied $spec value to one used by htmLawed internally
- * 'hl_tag' - handling tags
- * 'hl_tag2' - transforming tags
- * 'hl_tidy' - compact/beautify HTML
- * 'hl_version' - reporting htmLawed version
- * 'htmLawed' - main function
- * 'kses' - main function of 'kses'
- * 'kses_hook' - hook function of 'kses'
-
- The last two are for compatibility with pre-existing code using the 'kses' script. htmLawed's 'kses()' basically passes on the filtering task to 'htmLawed()' function after deciphering '$config' and '$spec' from the argument values supplied to it. 'kses_hook()' is an empty function and is meant for being filled with custom code if the 'kses' script users were using one.
-
- 'htmLawed()' finalizes '$spec' (with the help of 'hl_spec()') and '$config', and globalizes them. Finalization of '$config' involves setting default values if an inappropriate or invalid one is supplied. This includes calling 'hl_regex()' to check well-formedness of regular expression patterns if such expressions are user-supplied through '$config'. 'htmLawed()' then removes invalid characters like nulls and 'x01' and appropriately handles entities using 'hl_ent()'. HTML comments and CDATA sections are identified and treated as per '$config' with the help of 'hl_cmtcd()'. When retained, the '<' and '>' characters identifying them, and the '<', '>' and '&' characters inside them, are replaced with control characters (code-points '1' to '5') till any tag balancing is completed.
-
- After this `initial processing` 'htmLawed()' identifies tags using regex and processes them with the help of 'hl_tag()' -- a large function that analyzes tag content, filtering it as per HTML standards, '$config' and '$spec'. Among other things, 'hl_tag()' transforms deprecated elements using 'hl_tag2()', removes attributes from closing tags, checks attribute values as per '$spec' rules using 'hl_attrval()', and checks URL protocols using 'hl_prot()'. 'htmLawed()' performs tag balancing and nesting checks with a call to 'hl_bal()', and optionally compacts/beautifies the output with proper white-spacing with a call to 'hl_tidy()'. The latter temporarily replaces white-space, and '<', '>' and '&' characters inside 'pre', 'script' and 'textarea' elements, and HTML comments and CDATA sections with control characters (code-points '1' to '5', and '7').
-
- htmLawed permits the use of custom code or *hook functions* at two stages. The first, called inside 'htmLawed()', allows the input text as well as the finalized $config and $spec values to be altered right after the initial processing (see section:- #3.7). The second is called by 'hl_tag()' once the tag content is finalized (see section:- #3.4.9).
-
- Being dictated by the external and stable HTML standard, htmLawed's objective is very clear-cut and less concerned with tweakability. The code is only minimally annotated with comments -- it is not meant to instruct; PHP developers familiar with the HTML specs will see the logic, and others can always refer to the htmLawed documentation. The compact structuring of the statements is meant to aid in quickly grasping the logic, at least when viewed with code syntax highlighted.

+
+== 1 About htmLawed ================================================
+
+
+ htmLawed is a PHP script to process text with HTML markup to make it more compliant with HTML standards and administrative policies. It works by making HTML well-formed with balanced and properly nested tags, neutralizing code that may be used for cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks, allowing only specified HTML tags and attributes, and so on. Such `lawing in` of HTML in text used in (X)HTML or XML documents ensures that it is in accordance with the aesthetics, safety and usability requirements set by administrators.
+
+ htmLawed is highly customizable, and fast with low memory usage. Its free and open-source code is in one small file, does not require extensions or libraries, and works in older versions of PHP as well. It is a good alternative to the HTML Tidy:- http://tidy.sourceforge.net application.
+
+
+-- 1.1 Example uses ------------------------------------------------
+
+
+ * Filtering of text submitted as comments on blogs to allow only certain HTML elements
+
+ * Making RSS/Atom newsfeed item-content standard-compliant: often one uses an excerpt from an HTML document for the content, and with unbalanced tags, non-numerical entities, etc., such excerpts may not be XML-compliant
+
+ * Text processing for stricter XML standard-compliance: e.g., to have lowercased 'x' in hexadecimal numeric entities becomes necessary if an XHTML document with MathML content needs to be served as 'application/xml'
+
+ * Scraping text or data from web-pages
+
+ * Pretty-printing HTML code

+
+
+-- 1.3 History ----------------------------------------------------o
+
+
+ htmLawed was created in 2007 for use with 'LabWiki', a wiki software developed at PHP Labware, as a suitable software could not be found. Existing PHP software like 'Kses' and 'HTMLPurifier' were deemed inadequate, slow, resource-intensive, or dependent on an extension or external application like 'HTML Tidy'. The core logic of htmLawed, that of identifying HTML elements and attributes, was based on the 'Kses' (version 0.2.2) HTML filter software of Ulf Harnhammar (it can still be used with code that uses 'Kses'; see section:- #2.6.).
+
+ See section:- #4.3 for a detailed log of changes in htmLawed over the years, and section:- #4.10 for acknowledgements.
+
+
+-- 1.4 License & copyright ----------------------------------------o
+
+
+ htmLawed is free and open-source software dual copyrighted by Santosh Patnaik, MD, PhD, and licensed under LGPL license version 3:- http://www.gnu.org/licenses/lgpl-3.0.txt, and GPL license version 2:- http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-2.0.txt (or later).
+
+
+-- 1.5 Terms used here --------------------------------------------o
+
+
+ In this document, only HTML body-level elements are considered. htmLawed does not have support for head-level elements, 'body', and the frame-level elements, 'frameset', 'frame' and 'noframes', and these elements are ignored here.
+
+ * `administrator` - or admin; person setting up the code that utilizes htmLawed; also, `user`
+ * `attributes` - name-value pairs like 'href="http://x.com"' in opening tags
+ * `author` - see `writer`
+ * `character` - atomic unit of text; internally represented by a numeric `code-point` as specified by the `encoding` or `charset` in use
+ * `entity` - markup like '&gt;' and '&#160;' used to refer to a character
+ * `element` - HTML element like 'a' and 'img'
+ * `element content` - content between the opening and closing tags of an element, like 'click' of the '<a href="x">click</a>' element
+ * `HTML` - implies XHTML unless specified otherwise
+ * `HTML body` - Complete HTML documents typically have a `head` and a `body` container. Information in `head` specifies title of the document, etc., whereas that in the body informs what is to be displayed on a web-page; it is only the elements for `body`, except 'frames', 'frameset' and 'noframes' that htmLawed is concerned with
+ * `input` - text given to htmLawed to process
+ * `processing` - involves filtering, correction, etc., of input
+ * `safe` - absence or reduction of certain characters and HTML elements and attributes in HTML of text that can otherwise potentially, and circumstantially, expose text readers to security vulnerabilities like cross-site scripting attacks (XSS)
+ * `scheme` - a URL protocol like 'http' and 'ftp'
+ * `specifications` - standard specifications, for HTML4, HTML5, Ruby, etc.
+ * `style property` - terms like 'border' and 'height' for which declarations are made in values for the 'style' attribute of elements
+ * `tag` - markers like '<a href="x">' and '</a>' delineating element content; the opening tag can contain attributes
+ * `tag content` - consists of tag markers '<' and '>', element names like 'div', and possibly attributes
+ * `user` - administrator
+ * `writer` - end-user like a blog commenter providing the input that is to be processed; also, `author`
+
+
+-- 1.6 Availability ------------------------------------------------o
+
+
+ htmLawed can be downloaded for free at its website:- http://www.bioinformatics.org/phplabware/internal_utilities/htmLawed. Besides the 'htmLawed.php' file, the download has the htmLawed documentation (this document) in plain text:- htmLawed_README.txt and HTML:- htmLawed_README.htm formats, a script for testing:- htmLawedTest.php, and a text file for test-cases:- htmLawed_TESTCASE.txt. htmLawed is also available as a PHP class (OOP code) on its website.
+
+
+== 2 Usage ========================================================oo
+
+
+ htmLawed works in PHP version 4.4 or higher. Either 'include()' the 'htmLawed.php' file, or copy-paste the entire code. To use with PHP 4.3, have the following code included:
+
+ if(!function_exists('ctype_digit')){
+ function ctype_digit($var){
+ return ((int) $var == $var);
+ }
+ }
+
+
+-- 2.1 Simple ------------------------------------------------------
+
+
+ The input text to be processed, '$text', is passed as an argument of type string; 'htmLawed()' returns the processed string:
+
+ $processed = htmLawed($text);
+
+ With the 'htmLawed class' (section:- #1.6), usage is:
+
+ $processed = htmLawed::hl($text);
+
+ *Notes*: (1) If input is from a '$_GET' or '$_POST' value, and 'magic quotes' are enabled on the PHP setup, run 'stripslashes()' on the input before passing to htmLawed. (2) htmLawed does not have support for head-level elements, 'body', and the frame-level elements, 'frameset', 'frame' and 'noframes'.
+
+ By default, htmLawed will process the text allowing all valid HTML elements/tags, secure URL scheme/CSS style properties, etc. It will allow 'CDATA' sections and HTML comments, balance tags, and ensure proper nesting of elements. Such actions can be configured using two other optional arguments -- '$config' and '$spec':
+
+ $processed = htmLawed($text, $config, $spec);
+
+ The '$config' and '$spec' arguments are detailed below. Some examples are shown in section:- #2.9. For maximum protection against 'XSS' and other scripting attacks (e.g., by disallowing Javascript code), consider using the 'safe' parameter; see section:- #3.6.
+
+
+-- 2.2 Configuring htmLawed using the '$config' parameter ---------o
+
+
+ '$config' instructs htmLawed on how to tackle certain tasks. When '$config' is not specified, or not set as an array (e.g., '$config = 1'), htmLawed will take default actions. One or many of the task-action or value-specification pairs can be specified in '$config' as array key-value pairs. If a parameter is not specified, htmLawed will use the default value/action indicated further below.
+
+ $config = array('comment'=>0, 'cdata'=>1);
+ $processed = htmLawed($text, $config);
+
+ Or,
+
+ $processed = htmLawed($text, array('comment'=>0, 'cdata'=>1));
+
+ Below are the possible value-specification combinations. In PHP code, values that are integers should not be quoted and should be used as numeric types (unless meant as string/text).
+
+ Key: '*' default, '^' different default when htmLawed is used in the Kses-compatible mode (see section:- #2.6), '~' different default when 'valid_xhtml' is set to '1' (see section:- #3.5), '"' different default when 'safe' is set to '1' (see section:- #3.6)
+
+ *abs_url*
+ Make URLs absolute or relative; '$config["base_url"]' needs to be set; see section:- #3.4.4
+
+ '-1' - make relative
+ '0' - no action *

+
+
+-- 2.3 Extra HTML specifications using the $spec parameter --------o
+
+
+ The '$spec' argument of htmLawed can be used to disallow an otherwise legal attribute for an element, or to restrict the attribute's values. This can also be helpful as a security measure (e.g., in certain versions of browsers, certain values can cause buffer overflows and denial of service attacks), or in enforcing admin policies. '$spec' is specified as a string of text containing one or more `rules`, with multiple rules separated from each other by a semi-colon (';'). E.g.,
+
+ $spec = 'i=-*; td, tr=style, id, -*; a=id(match="/[a-z][a-z\d.:\-`"]*/i"/minval=2), href(maxlen=100/minlen=34); img=-width,-alt';
+ $processed = htmLawed($text, $config, $spec);
+
+ Or,
+
+ $processed = htmLawed($text, $config, 'i=-*; td, tr=style, id, -*; a=id(match="/[a-z][a-z\d.:\-`"]*/i"/minval=2), href(maxlen=100/minlen=34); img=-width,-alt');
+
+ A rule begins with an HTML *element* name(s) (`rule-element`), for which the rule applies, followed by an equal ('=') sign. A rule-element may represent multiple elements if comma (,)-separated element names are used. E.g., 'th,td,tr='.
+
+ Rest of the rule consists of comma-separated HTML *attribute names*. A minus ('-') character before an attribute means that the attribute is not permitted inside the rule-element. E.g., '-width'. To deny all attributes, '-*' can be used.
+
+ Following shows examples of rule excerpts with rule-element 'a' and the attributes that are being permitted:
+
+ * 'a=' - all
+ * 'a=id' - all
+ * 'a=href, title, -id, -onclick' - all except 'id' and 'onclick'
+ * 'a=*, id, -id' - all except 'id'
+ * 'a=-*' - none
+ * 'a=-*, href, title' - none except 'href' and 'title'
+ * 'a=-*, -id, href, title' - none except 'href' and 'title'
+
+ Rules regarding *attribute values* are optionally specified inside round brackets after attribute names in slash ('/')-separated `parameter = value` pairs. E.g., 'title(maxlen=30/minlen=5)'. None or one or more of the following parameters may be specified:
+
+ * 'oneof' - one or more choices separated by '|' that the value should match; if only one choice is provided, then the value must match that choice
+
+ * 'noneof' - one or more choices separated by '|' that the value should not match
+
+ * 'maxlen' and 'minlen' - upper and lower limits for the number of characters in the attribute value; specified in numbers
+
+ * 'maxval' and 'minval' - upper and lower limits for the numerical value specified in the attribute value; specified in numbers
+
+ * 'match' and 'nomatch' - pattern that the attribute value should or should not match; specified as PHP/PCRE-compatible regular expressions with delimiters and possibly modifiers
+
+ * 'default' - a value to force on the attribute if the value provided by the writer does not fit any of the specified parameters
+
+ If 'default' is not set and the attribute value does not satisfy any of the specified parameters, then the attribute is removed. The 'default' value can also be used to force all attribute declarations to take the same value (by getting the values declared illegal by setting, e.g., 'maxlen' to '-1').
+
+ Examples with `input` '<input title="WIDTH" value="10em" /><input title="length" value="5" />' are shown below.
+
+ `Rule`: 'input=title(maxlen=60/minlen=6), value'
+ `Output`: '<input value="10em" /><input title="length" value="5" />'
+
+ `Rule`: 'input=title(), value(maxval=8/default=6)'
+ `Output`: '<input title="WIDTH" value="6" /><input title="length" value="5" />'
+
+ `Rule`: 'input=title(nomatch=%w.d%i), value(match=%em%/default=6em)'
+ `Output`: '<input value="10em" /><input title="length" value="6em" />'
+
+ `Rule`: 'input=title(oneof=height|depth/default=depth), value(noneof=5|6)'
+ `Output`: '<input title="depth" value="10em" /><input title="depth" />'
+
+ *Special characters*: The characters ';', ',', '/', '(', ')', '|', '~' and space have special meanings in the rules. Words in the rules that use such characters, or the characters themselves, should be `escaped` by enclosing in pairs of double-quotes ('"'). A back-tick ('`') can be used to escape a literal '"'. An example rule illustrating this is 'input=value(maxlen=30/match="/^\w/"/default="your `"ID`"")'.
+
+ *Note*: To deny an attribute for all elements for which it is legal, '$config["deny_attribute"]' (see section:- #3.4) can be used instead of '$spec'. Also, attributes can be allowed element-specifically through '$spec' while being denied globally through '$config["deny_attribute"]'. The 'hook_tag' parameter (section:- #3.4.9) can also be possibly used to implement a functionality like that achieved using '$spec' functionality.
+
+ '$spec' can also be used to permit custom, non-standard attributes as well as custom rules for standard attributes. Thus, the following value of '$spec' will permit the custom uses of the standard 'rel' attribute in 'input' (not permitted as per standards) and of a non-standard attribute, 'vFlag', in 'img'.
+
+ $spec = 'img=vFlag; input=rel'
+
+ The attribute names can contain alphabets, colons (:) and hyphens (-), but they must start with an alphabet.
+
+
+-- 2.4 Performance time & memory usage ----------------------------o
+
+
+ The time and memory consumed during text processing by htmLawed depends on its configuration, the size of the input, and the amount, nestedness and well-formedness of the HTML markup within the input. In particular, tag balancing and beautification each can increase the processing time by about a quarter.
+
+ The htmLawed demo:- htmLawedTest.php can be used to evaluate the performance and effects of different types of input and '$config'.
+
+
+-- 2.5 Some security risks to keep in mind ------------------------o
+
+
+ When setting the parameters/arguments (like those to allow certain HTML elements) for use with htmLawed, one should bear in mind that the setting may let through potentially `dangerous` HTML code which is meant to steal user-data, deface a website, render a page non-functional, etc. Unless end-users, either people or software, supplying the content are completely trusted, security issues arising from the degree of HTML usage permitted through htmLawed's setting should be considered. For example, following increase security risks:
+
+ * Allowing 'script', 'applet', 'embed', 'iframe' or 'object' elements, or certain of their attributes like 'allowscriptaccess'
+
+ * Allowing HTML comments (some Internet Explorer versions are vulnerable with, e.g., '<!--[if gte IE 4]><script>alert("xss");</script><![endif]-->'
+
+ * Allowing dynamic CSS expressions (some Internet Explorer versions are vulnerable)
+
+ * Allowing the 'style' attribute
+
+ To remove `unsecure` HTML, code-developers using htmLawed must set '$config' appropriately. E.g., '$config["elements"] = "* -script"' to deny the 'script' element (section:- #3.3), '$config["safe"] = 1' to auto-configure ceratin htmLawed parameters for maximizing security (section:- #3.6), etc.
+
+ Permitting the '*style*' attribute brings in risks of `click-jacking`, `phishing`, web-page overlays, etc., `even` when the 'safe' parameter is enabled (see section:- #3.6). Except for URLs and a few other things like CSS dynamic expressions, htmLawed currently does not check every CSS style property. It does provide ways for the code-developer implementing htmLawed to do such checks through htmLawed's '$spec' argument, and through the 'hook_tag' parameter (see section:- #3.4.8 for more). Disallowing 'style' completely and relying on CSS classes and stylesheet files is recommended.
+
+ htmLawed does not check or correct the character *encoding* of the input it receives. In conjunction with permissive circumstances, such as when the character encoding is left undefined through HTTP headers or HTML 'meta' tags, this can allow for an exploit (like Google's `UTF-7/XSS` vulnerability of the past).
+
+
+-- 2.6 Use without modifying old 'kses()' code --------------------o
+
+
+ The 'Kses' PHP script is used by many applications (like 'WordPress'). It is possible to have such applications use htmLawed instead, since it is compatible with code that calls the 'kses()' function declared in the 'Kses' file (usually named 'kses.php'). E.g., application code like this will continue to work after replacing 'Kses' with htmLawed:
+
+ $comment_filtered = kses($comment_input, array('a'=>array(), 'b'=>array(), 'i'=>array()));
+
+ For some of the '$config' parameters, htmLawed will use values other than the default ones. These are indicated by '^' in section:- #2.2. To force htmLawed to use other values, function 'kses()' in the htmLawed code should be edited -- a few configurable parameters/variables need to be changed.
+
+ If the application uses a 'Kses' file that has the 'kses()' function declared, then, to have the application use htmLawed instead of 'Kses', simply rename 'htmLawed.php' (to 'kses.php', e.g.) and replace the 'Kses' file (or just replace the code in the 'Kses' file with the htmLawed code). If the 'kses()' function in the 'Kses' file had been renamed by the application developer (e.g., in 'WordPress', it is named 'wp_kses()'), then appropriately rename the 'kses()' function in the htmLawed code.
+
+ If the 'Kses' file used by the application has been highly altered by the application developers, then one may need a different approach. E.g., with 'WordPress', it is best to copy the htmLawed code to 'wp_includes/kses.php', rename the newly added function 'kses()' to 'wp_kses()', and delete the code for the original 'wp_kses()' function.
+
+ If the 'Kses' code has a non-empty hook function (e.g., 'wp_kses_hook()' in case of 'WordPress'), then the code for htmLawed's 'kses_hook()' function should be appropriately edited. However, the requirement of the hook function should be re-evaluated considering that htmLawed has extra capabilities. With 'WordPress', the hook function is an essential one. The following code is suggested for the htmLawed 'kses_hook()' in case of 'WordPress':
+
+ function kses_hook($string, &$cf, &$spec){
+ // kses compatibility
+ $allowed_html = $spec;
+ $allowed_protocols = array();
+ foreach($cf['schemes'] as $v){
+ foreach($v as $k2=>$v2){
+ if(!in_array($k2, $allowed_protocols)){
+ $allowed_protocols[] = $k2;
+ }
+ }
+ }
+ return wp_kses_hook($string, $allowed_html, $allowed_protocols);
+ // eof
+ }
+
+
+-- 2.7 Tolerance for ill-written HTML -----------------------------o
+
+
+ htmLawed can work with ill-written HTML code in the input. However, HTML that is too ill-written may not be `read` as HTML, and may therefore get identified as mere plain text. Following statements indicate the degree of `looseness` that htmLawed can work with, and can be provided in instructions to writers:
+
+ * Tags must be flanked by '<' and '>' with no '>' inside -- any needed '>' should be put in as '&gt;'. It is possible for tag content (element name and attributes) to be spread over many lines instead of being on one. A space may be present between the tag content and '>', like '<div >' and '<img / >', but not after the '<'.
+
+ * Element and attribute names need not be lower-cased.
+
+ * Attribute string of elements may be liberally spaced with tabs, line-breaks, etc.
+
+ * Attribute values may be single- and not double-quoted.
+
+ * Left-padding of numeric entities (like, '&#0160;', '&x07ff;') with '0' is okay as long as the number of characters between between the '&' and the ';' does not exceed 8. All entities must end with ';' though.
+
+ * Named character entities must be properly cased. Thus, '&Lt;' or '&TILDE;' will not be recognized as entities and will be `neutralized`.
+
+ * HTML comments should not be inside element tags (they can be between tags), and should begin with '<!--' and end with '-->'. Characters like '<', '>', and '&' may be allowed inside depending on '$config', but any '-->' inside should be put in as '--&gt;'. Any '--' inside will be automatically converted to '-', and a space will be added before the comment delimiter '-->'.
+
+ * 'CDATA' sections should not be inside element tags, and can be in element content only if plain text is allowed for that element. They should begin with '<[CDATA[' and end with ']]>'. Characters like '<', '>', and '&' may be allowed inside depending on '$config', but any ']]>' inside should be put in as ']]&gt;'.
+
+ * For attribute values, character entities '&lt;', '&gt;' and '&amp;' should be used instead of characters '<' and '>', and '&' (when '&' is not part of a character entity). This applies even for Javascript code in values of attributes like 'onclick'.
+
+ * Characters '<', '>', '&' and '"' that are part of actual Javascript, etc., code in 'script' elements should be used as such and not be put in as entities like '&gt;'. Otherwise, though the HTML will be valid, the code may fail to work. Further, if such characters have to be used, then they should be put inside 'CDATA' sections.
+
+ * Simple instructions like "an opening tag cannot be present between two closing tags" and "nested elements should be closed in the reverse order of how they were opened" can help authors write balanced HTML. If tags are imbalanced, htmLawed will try to balance them, but in the process, depending on '$config["keep_bad"]', some code/text may be lost.
+
+ * Input authors should be notified of admin-specified allowed elements, attributes, configuration values (like conversion of named entities to numeric ones), etc.
+
+ * With '$config["unique_ids"]' not '0' and the 'id' attribute being permitted, writers should carefully avoid using duplicate or invalid 'id' values as even though htmLawed will correct/remove the values, the final output may not be the one desired. E.g., when '<a id="home"></a><input id="home" /><label for="home"></label>' is processed into
+'<a id="home"></a><input id="prefix_home" /><label for="home"></label>'.
+
+ * Even if intended HTML is lost from an ill-written input, the processed output will be more secure and standard-compliant.
+
+ * For URLs, unless '$config["scheme"]' is appropriately set, writers should avoid using escape characters or entities in schemes. E.g., 'htt&#112;' (which many browsers will read as the harmless 'http') may be considered bad by htmLawed.
+
+ * htmLawed will attempt to put plain text present directly inside 'blockquote', 'form', 'map' and 'noscript' elements (illegal as per the specifications) inside auto-generated 'div' elements.
+
+
+-- 2.8 Limitations & work-arounds ---------------------------------o
+
+
+ htmLawed's main objective is to make the input text `more` standard-compliant, secure for readers, and free of HTML elements and attributes considered undesirable by the administrator. Some of its current limitations, regardless of this objective, are noted below along with work-arounds.
+
+ It should be borne in mind that no browser application is 100% standard-compliant, and that some of the standard specifications (like asking for normalization of white-spacing within 'textarea' elements) are clearly wrong. Regarding security, note that `unsafe` HTML code is not legally invalid per se.
+
+ * htmLawed is meant for input that goes into the 'body' of HTML documents. HTML's head-level elements are not supported, nor are the frameset elements 'frameset', 'frame' and 'noframes'. Content of the latter elements can, however, be individually filtered through htmLawed.
+
+ * It cannot transform the non-standard 'embed' elements to the standard-compliant 'object' elements. Yet, it can allow 'embed' elements if permitted ('embed' is widely used and supported). Admins can certainly use the 'hook_tag' parameter (section:- #3.4.9) to deploy a custom embed-to-object converter function.
+
+ * The only non-standard element that may be permitted is 'embed'; others like 'noembed' and 'nobr' cannot be permitted without modifying the htmLawed code.
+
+ * It cannot handle input that has non-HTML code like 'SVG' and 'MathML'. One way around is to break the input into pieces and passing only those without non-HTML code to htmLawed. Another is described in section:- #3.9. A third way may be to some how take advantage of the '$config["and_mark"]' parameter (see section:- #3.2).
+
+ * By default, htmLawed won't check many attribute values for standard compliance. E.g., 'width="20m"' with the dimension in non-standard 'm' is let through. Implementing universal and strict attribute value checks can make htmLawed slow and resource-intensive. Admins should look at the 'hook_tag' parameter (section:- #3.4.9) or '$spec' to enforce finer checks.
+
+ * The attributes, deprecated (which can be transformed too) or not, that it supports are largely those that are in the specifications. Only a few of the proprietary attributes are supported.
+
+ * Except for contained URLs and dynamic expressions (also optional), htmLawed does not check CSS style property values. Admins should look at using the 'hook_tag' parameter (section:- #3.4.9) or '$spec' for finer checks. Perhaps the best option is to disallow 'style' but allow 'class' attributes with the right 'oneof' or 'match' values for 'class', and have the various class style properties in '.css' CSS stylesheet files.
+
+ * htmLawed does not parse emoticons, decode `BBcode`, or `wikify`, auto-converting text to proper HTML. Similarly, it won't convert line-breaks to 'br' elements. Such functions are beyond its purview. Admins should use other code to pre- or post-process the input for such purposes.
+
+ * htmLawed cannot be used to have links force-opened in new windows (by auto-adding appropriate 'target' and 'onclick' attributes to 'a'). Admins should look at Javascript-based DOM-modifying solutions for this. Admins may also be able to use a custom hook function to enforce such checks ('hook_tag' parameter; see section:- #3.4.9).
+
+ * Nesting-based checks are not possible. E.g., one cannot disallow 'p' elements specifically inside 'td' while permitting it elsewhere. Admins may be able to use a custom hook function to enforce such checks ('hook_tag' parameter; see section:- #3.4.9).
+
+ * Except for optionally converting absolute or relative URLs to the other type, htmLawed will not alter URLs (e.g., to change the value of query strings or to convert 'http' to 'https'. Having absolute URLs may be a standard-requirement, e.g., when HTML is embedded in email messages, whereas altering URLs for other purposes is beyond htmLawed's goals. Admins may be able to use a custom hook function to enforce such checks ('hook_tag' parameter; see section:- #3.4.9).
+
+ * Pairs of opening and closing tags that do not enclose any content (like '<em></em>') are not removed. This may be against the standard specifications for certain elements (e.g., 'table'). However, presence of such standard-incompliant code will not break the display or layout of content. Admins can also use simple regex-based code to filter out such code.
+
+ * htmLawed does not check for certain element orderings described in the standard specifications (e.g., in a 'table', 'tbody' is allowed before 'tfoot'). Admins may be able to use a custom hook function to enforce such checks ('hook_tag' parameter; see section:- #3.4.9).
+
+ * htmLawed does not check the number of nested elements. E.g., it will allow two 'caption' elements in a 'table' element, illegal as per the specifications. Admins may be able to use a custom hook function to enforce such checks ('hook_tag' parameter; see section:- #3.4.9).
+
+ * htmLawed might convert certain entities to actual characters and remove backslashes and CSS comment-markers ('/*') in 'style' attribute values in order to detect malicious HTML like crafted IE-specific dynamic expressions like '&#101;xpression...'. If this is too harsh, admins can allow CSS expressions through htmLawed core but then use a custom function through the 'hook_tag' parameter (section:- #3.4.9) to more specifically identify CSS expressions in the 'style' attribute values. Also, using '$config["style_pass"]', it is possible to have htmLawed pass 'style' attribute values without even looking at them (section:- #3.4.8).
+
+ * htmLawed does not correct certain possible attribute-based security vulnerabilities (e.g., '<a href="http://x%22+style=%22background-image:xss">x</a>'). These arise when browsers mis-identify markup in `escaped` text, defeating the very purpose of escaping text (a bad browser will read the given example as '<a href="http://x" style="background-image:xss">x</a>').
+
+ * Because of poor Unicode support in PHP, htmLawed does not remove the `high value` HTML-invalid characters with multi-byte code-points. Such characters however are extremely unlikely to be in the input. (see section:- #3.1).
+
+ * htmLawed does not check or correct the character encoding of the input it receives. In conjunction with permitting circumstances such as when the character encoding is left undefined through HTTP headers or HTML 'meta' tags, this can permit an exploit (like Google's `UTF-7/XSS` vulnerability of the past). Also, htmLawed can mangle input text if it is not well-formed in terms of character encoding. Administrators can consider using code available elsewhere to check well-formedness of input text characters to correct any defect.
+
+ * htmLawed is expected to work with input texts in ASCII-compatible single byte encodings such as national variants of ASCII (like ISO-646-DE/German of the ISO 646 standard), extended ASCII variants (like ISO 8859-10/Turkish of the ISO 8859/ISO Latin standard), ISO 8859-based Windows variants (like Windows 1252), EBCDIC, Shift JIS (Japanese), GB-Roman (Chinese), and KS-Roman (Korean). It should also properly handle texts with variable byte encodings like UTF-7 (Unicode) and UTF-8 (Unicode). However, htmLawed may mangle input texts with double byte encodings like UTF-16 (Unicode), JIS X 0208:1997 (Japanese) and K SX 1001:1992 (Korean), or the UTF-32 (Unicode) quadruple byte encoding. If an input text has such an encoding, administrators can use PHP's iconv:- http://php.net/manual/en/book.iconv.php functions, or some other mean, to convert text to UTF-8 before passing it to htmLawed.
+
+ * Like any script using PHP's PCRE regex functions, PHP setup-specific low PCRE limit values can cause htmLawed to at least partially fail with very long input texts.
+
+
+-- 2.9 Examples of usage -------------------------------------------o
+
+
+ Safest, allowing only `safe` HTML markup --
+
+ $config = array('safe'=>1);
+ $out = htmLawed($in);
+
+ Simplest, allowing all valid HTML markup except 'javascript:' --
+
+ $out = htmLawed($in);
+
+ Allowing all valid HTML markup including 'javascript:' --
+
+ $config = array('schemes'=>'*:*');
+ $out = htmLawed($in, $config);
+
+ Allowing only 'safe' HTML and the elements 'a', 'em', and 'strong' --
+
+ $config = array('safe'=>1, 'elements'=>'a, em, strong');
+ $out = htmLawed($in, $config);
+
+ Not allowing elements 'script' and 'object' --
+
+ $config = array('elements'=>'* -script -object');
+ $out = htmLawed($in, $config);
+
+ Not allowing attributes 'id' and 'style' --
+
+ $config = array('deny_attribute'=>'id, style');
+ $out = htmLawed($in, $config);
+
+ Permitting only attributes 'title' and 'href' --
+
+ $config = array('deny_attribute'=>'* -title -href');
+ $out = htmLawed($in, $config);
+
+ Remove bad/disallowed tags altogether instead of converting them to entities --
+
+ $config = array('keep_bad'=>0);
+ $out = htmLawed($in, $config);
+
+ Allowing attribute 'title' only in 'a' and not allowing attributes 'id', 'style', or scriptable `on*` attributes like 'onclick' --
+
+ $config = array('deny_attribute'=>'title, id, style, on*');
+ $spec = 'a=title';
+ $out = htmLawed($in, $config, $spec);
+
+ Allowing a custom attribute, 'vFlag', in 'img' and permitting custom use of the standard attribute, 'rel', in 'input' --
+
+ $spec = 'img=vFlag; input=rel';
+ $out = htmLawed($in, $config, $spec);
+
+ Some case-studies are presented below.
+
+ *1.* A blog administrator wants to allow only 'a', 'em', 'strike', 'strong' and 'u' in comments, but needs 'strike' and 'u' transformed to 'span' for better XHTML 1-strict compliance, and, he wants the 'a' links to point only to 'http' or 'https' resources:
+
+ $processed = htmLawed($in, array('elements'=>'a, em, strike, strong, u', 'make_tag_strict'=>1, 'safe'=>1, 'schemes'=>'*:http, https'), 'a=href');
+
+ *2.* An author uses a custom-made web application to load content on his web-site. He is the only one using that application and the content he generates has all types of HTML, including scripts. The web application uses htmLawed primarily as a tool to correct errors that creep in while writing HTML and to take care of the occasional `bad` characters in copy-paste text introduced by Microsoft Office. The web application provides a preview before submitted input is added to the content. For the previewing process, htmLawed is set up as follows:
+
+ $processed = htmLawed($in, array('css_expression'=>1, 'keep_bad'=>1, 'make_tag_strict'=>1, 'schemes'=>'*:*', 'valid_xhtml'=>1));
+
+ For the final submission process, 'keep_bad' is set to '6'. A value of '1' for the preview process allows the author to note and correct any HTML mistake without losing any of the typed text.
+
+ *3.* A data-miner is scraping information in a specific table of similar web-pages and is collating the data rows, and uses htmLawed to reduce unnecessary markup and white-spaces:
+
+ $processed = htmLawed($in, array('elements'=>'tr, td', 'tidy'=>-1), 'tr, td =');
+
+
+== 3 Details =====================================================oo
+
+
+-- 3.1 Invalid/dangerous characters --------------------------------
+
+
+ Valid characters (more correctly, their code-points) in HTML or XML are, hexadecimally, '9', 'a', 'd', '20' to 'd7ff', and 'e000' to '10ffff', except 'fffe' and 'ffff' (decimally, '9', '10', '13', '32' to '55295', and '57344' to '1114111', except '65534' and '65535'). htmLawed removes the invalid characters '0' to '8', 'b', 'c', and 'e' to '1f'.
+
+ Because of PHP's poor native support for multi-byte characters, htmLawed cannot check for the remaining invalid code-points. However, for various reasons, it is very unlikely for any of those characters to be in the input.
+
+ Characters that are discouraged (see section:- #5.1) but not invalid are not removed by htmLawed.
+
+ It (function 'hl_tag()') also replaces the potentially dangerous (in some Mozilla [Firefox] and Opera browsers) soft-hyphen character (code-point, hexadecimally, 'ad', or decimally, '173') in attribute values with spaces. Where required, the characters '<', '>', '&', and '"' are converted to entities.
+
+ With '$config["clean_ms_char"]' set as '1' or '2', many of the discouraged characters (decimal code-points '127' to '159' except '133') that many Microsoft applications incorrectly use (as per the 'Windows 1252' ['Cp-1252'] or a similar encoding system), and the character for decimal code-point '133', are converted to appropriate decimal numerical entities (or removed for a few cases)-- see appendix in section:- #5.4. This can help avoid some display issues arising from copying-pasting of content.
+
+ With '$config["clean_ms_char"]' set as '2', characters for the hexadecimal code-points '82', '91', and '92' (for special single-quotes), and '84', '93', and '94' (for special double-quotes) are converted to ordinary single and double quotes respectively and not to entities.
+
+ The character values are replaced with entities/characters and not character values referred to by the entities/characters to keep this task independent of the character-encoding of input text.
+
+ The '$config["clean_ms_char"]' parameter should not be used if authors do not copy-paste Microsoft-created text, or if the input text is not believed to use the 'Windows 1252' ('Cp-1252') or a similar encoding like 'Cp-1251' (otherwise, for example when UTF-8 encoding is in use, Japanese or Korean characters can get mangled). Further, the input form and the web-pages displaying it or its content should have the character encoding appropriately marked-up.
+
+
+-- 3.2 Character references/entities ------------------------------o
+
+
+ Valid character entities take the form '&*;' where '*' is '#x' followed by a hexadecimal number (hexadecimal numeric entity; like '&#xA0;' for non-breaking space), or alphanumeric like 'gt' (external or named entity; like '&nbsp;' for non-breaking space), or '#' followed by a number (decimal numeric entity; like '&#160;' for non-breaking space). Character entities referring to the soft-hyphen character (the '&shy;' or '\xad' character; hexadecimal code-point 'ad' [decimal '173']) in URL-accepting attribute values are always replaced with spaces; soft-hyphens in attribute values introduce vulnerabilities in some older versions of the Opera and Mozilla [Firefox] browsers.
+
+ htmLawed (function 'hl_ent()'):
+
+ * Neutralizes entities with multiple leading zeroes or missing semi-colons (potentially dangerous)
+
+ * Lowercases the 'X' (for XML-compliance) and 'A-F' of hexadecimal numeric entities
+
+ * Neutralizes entities referring to characters that are HTML-invalid (see section:- #3.1)
+
+ * Neutralizes entities referring to characters that are HTML-discouraged (code-points, hexadecimally, '7f' to '84', '86' to '9f', and 'fdd0' to 'fddf', or decimally, '127' to '132', '134' to '159', and '64991' to '64976'). Entities referring to the remaining discouraged characters (see section:- #5.1 for a full list) are let through.
+
+ * Neutralizes named entities that are not in the specs.
+
+ * Optionally converts valid HTML-specific named entities except '&gt;', '&lt;', '&quot;', and '&amp;' to decimal numeric ones (hexadecimal if $config["hexdec_entity"] is '2') for generic XML-compliance. For this, '$config["named_entity"]' should be '1'.
+
+ * Optionally converts hexadecimal numeric entities to the more widely supported decimal ones. For this, '$config["hexdec_entity"]' should be '0'.
+
+ * Optionally converts decimal numeric entities to the hexadecimal ones. For this, '$config["hexdec_entity"]' should be '2'.
+
+ `Neutralization` refers to the `entitification` of '&' to '&amp;'.
+
+ *Note*: htmLawed does not convert entities to the actual characters represented by them; one can pass the htmLawed output through PHP's 'html_entity_decode' function:- http://www.php.net/html_entity_decode for that.
+
+ *Note*: If '$config["and_mark"]' is set, and set to a value other than '0', then the '&' characters in the original input are replaced with the control character for the hexadecimal code-point '6' ('\x06'; '&' characters introduced by htmLawed, e.g., after converting '<' to '&lt;', are not affected). This allows one to distinguish, say, an '&gt;' introduced by htmLawed and an '&gt;' put in by the input writer, and can be helpful in further processing of the htmLawed-processed text (e.g., to identify the character sequence 'o(><)o' to generate an emoticon image). When this feature is active, admins should ensure that the htmLawed output is not directly used in web pages or XML documents as the presence of the '\x06' can break documents. Before use in such documents, and preferably before any storage, any remaining '\x06' should be changed back to '&', e.g., with:
+
+ $final = str_replace("\x06", '&', $prelim);
+
+ Also, see section:- #3.9.
+
+
+-- 3.3 HTML elements ----------------------------------------------o
+
+
+ htmLawed can be configured to allow only certain HTML elements (tags) in the input. Disallowed elements (just tag-content, and not element-content), based on '$config["keep_bad"]', are either `neutralized` (converted to plain text by entitification of '<' and '>') or removed.
+
+ E.g., with only 'em' permitted:
+
+ Input:
+
+ <em>My</em> website is <a href="http://a.com>a.com</a>.
+
+ Output, with '$config["keep_bad"] = 0':
+
+ <em>My</em> website is a.com.
+
+ Output, with '$config["keep_bad"]' not '0':
+
+ <em>My</em> website is &lt;a href=""&gt;a.com&lt;/a&gt;.
+
+ See section:- #3.3.3 for differences between the various non-zero '$config["keep_bad"]' values.
+
+ htmLawed by default permits these 86 elements:
+
+ a, abbr, acronym, address, applet, area, b, bdo, big, blockquote, br, button, caption, center, cite, code, col, colgroup, dd, del, dfn, dir, div, dl, dt, em, embed, fieldset, font, form, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, iframe, img, input, ins, isindex, kbd, label, legend, li, map, menu, noscript, object, ol, optgroup, option, p, param, pre, q, rb, rbc, rp, rt, rtc, ruby, s, samp, script, select, small, span, strike, strong, sub, sup, table, tbody, td, textarea, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, var
+
+ Except for 'embed' (included because of its wide-spread use) and the Ruby elements ('rb', 'rbc', 'rp', 'rt', 'rtc', 'ruby'; part of XHTML 1.1), these are all the elements in the HTML 4/XHTML 1 specs. Strict-specific specs. exclude 'center', 'dir', 'font', 'isindex', 'menu', 's', 'strike', and 'u'.
+
+ With '$config["safe"] = 1', the default set will exclude 'applet', 'embed', 'iframe', 'object' and 'script'; see section:- #3.6.
+
+ When '$config["elements"]', which specifies allowed elements, is `properly` defined, and neither empty nor set to '0' or '*', the default set is not used. To have elements added to or removed from the default set, a '+/-' notation is used. E.g., '*-script-object' implies that only 'script' and 'object' are disallowed, whereas '*+embed' means that 'noembed' is also allowed. Elements can also be specified as comma separated names. E.g., 'a, b, i' means only 'a', 'b' and 'i' are permitted. In this notation, '*', '+' and '-' have no significance and can actually cause a mis-reading.
+
+ Some more examples of '$config["elements"]' values indicating permitted elements (note that empty spaces are liberally allowed for clarity):
+
+ * 'a, blockquote, code, em, strong' -- only 'a', 'blockquote', 'code', 'em', and 'strong'
+ * '*-script' -- all excluding 'script'
+ * '* -center -dir -font -isindex -menu -s -strike -u' -- only XHTML-Strict elements
+ * '*+noembed-script' -- all including 'noembed' excluding 'script'
+
+ Some mis-usages (and the resulting permitted elements) that can be avoided:
+
+ * '-*' -- none; instead of htmLawed, one might just use, e.g., the 'htmlspecialchars()' PHP function
+ * '*, -script' -- all except 'script'; admin probably meant '*-script'
+ * '-*, a, em, strong' -- all; admin probably meant 'a, em, strong'
+ * '*' -- all; admin need not have set 'elements'
+ * '*-form+form' -- all; a '+' will always over-ride any '-'
+ * '*, noembed' -- only 'noembed'; admin probably meant '*+noembed'
+ * 'a, +b, i' -- only 'a' and 'i'; admin probably meant 'a, b, i'
+
+ Basically, when using the '+/-' notation, commas (',') should not be used, and vice versa, and '*' should be used with the former but not the latter.
+
+ *Note*: Even if an element that is not in the default set is allowed through '$config["elements"]', like 'noembed' in the last example, it will eventually be removed during tag balancing unless such balancing is turned off ('$config["balance"]' set to '0'). Currently, the only way around this, which actually is simple, is to edit the various arrays in the function 'hl_bal()' to accommodate the element and its nesting properties.
+
+ *A possibly second way to specify allowed elements* is to set '$config["parent"]' to an element name that supposedly will hold the input, and to set '$config["balance"]' to '1'. During tag balancing (see section:- #3.3.3), all elements that cannot legally nest inside the parent element will be removed. The parent element is auto-reset to 'div' if '$config["parent"]' is empty, 'body', or an element not in htmLawed's default set of 86 elements.
+
+ `Tag transformation` is possible for improving XHTML-Strict compliance -- most of the deprecated elements are removed or converted to valid XHTML-Strict ones; see section:- #3.3.2.
+
+
+.. 3.3.1 Handling of comments and CDATA sections ...................
+
+
+ 'CDATA' sections have the format '<![CDATA[...anything but not "]]>"...]]>', and HTML comments, '<!--...anything but not "-->"... -->'. Neither HTML comments nor 'CDATA' sections can reside inside tags. HTML comments can exist anywhere else, but 'CDATA' sections can exist only where plain text is allowed (e.g., immediately inside 'td' element content but not immediately inside 'tr' element content).
+
+ htmLawed (function 'hl_cmtcd()') handles HTML comments or 'CDATA' sections depending on the values of '$config["comment"]' or '$config["cdata"]'. If '0', such markup is not looked for and the text is processed like plain text. If '1', it is removed completely. If '2', it is preserved but any '<', '>' and '&' inside are changed to entities. If '3', they are left as such.
+
+ Note that for the last two cases, HTML comments and 'CDATA' sections will always be removed from tag content (function 'hl_tag()').
+
+ Examples:
+
+ Input:
+ <!-- home link --><a href="home.htm"><![CDATA[x=&y]]>Home</a>
+ Output ('$config["comment"] = 0, $config["cdata"] = 2'):
+ &lt;-- home link --&gt;<a href="home.htm"><![CDATA[x=&amp;y]]>Home</a>
+ Output ('$config["comment"] = 1, $config["cdata"] = 2'):
+ <a href="home.htm"><![CDATA[x=&amp;y]]>Home</a>
+ Output ('$config["comment"] = 2, $config["cdata"] = 2'):
+ <!-- home link --><a href="home.htm"><![CDATA[x=&amp;y]]>Home</a>
+ Output ('$config["comment"] = 2, $config["cdata"] = 1'):
+ <!-- home link --><a href="home.htm">Home</a>
+ Output ('$config["comment"] = 3, $config["cdata"] = 3'):
+ <!-- home link --><a href="home.htm"><![CDATA[x=&y]]>Home</a>
+
+ For standard-compliance, comments are given the form '<!--comment -->', and any '--' in the content is made '-'.
+
+ When '$config["safe"] = 1', CDATA sections and comments are considered plain text unless '$config["comment"]' or '$config["cdata"]' is explicitly specified; see section:- #3.6.
+
+
+.. 3.3.2 Tag-transformation for better XHTML-Strict ................o
+
+
+ If '$config["make_tag_strict"]' is set and not '0', following non-XHTML-Strict elements (and attributes), even if admin-permitted, are mutated as indicated (element content remains intact; function 'hl_tag2()'):
+
+ * applet - (based on '$config["make_tag_strict"]', unchanged ('1') or removed ('2'))
+ * center - 'div style="text-align: center;"'
+ * dir - 'ul'
+ * embed - (based on '$config["make_tag_strict"]', unchanged ('1') or removed ('2'))
+ * font (face, size, color) - 'span style="font-family: ; font-size: ; color: ;"' (size transformation reference:- http://style.cleverchimp.com/font_size_intervals/altintervals.html)
+ * isindex - (based on '$config["make_tag_strict"]', unchanged ('1') or removed ('2'))
+ * menu - 'ul'
+ * s - 'span style="text-decoration: line-through;"'
+ * strike - 'span style="text-decoration: line-through;"'
+ * u - 'span style="text-decoration: underline;"'
+
+ For an element with a pre-existing 'style' attribute value, the extra style properties are appended.
+
+ Example input:
+
+ <center>
+ The PHP <s>software</s> script used for this <strike>web-page</strike> web-page is <font style="font-weight: bold " face=arial size='+3' color = "red ">htmLawedTest.php</font>, from <u style= 'color:green'>PHP Labware</u>.
+ </center>
+
+ The output:
+
+ <div style="text-align: center;">
+ The PHP <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">software</span> script used for this <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">web-page</span> web-page is <span style="font-weight: bold; font-family: arial; color: red; font-size: 200%;">htmLawedTest.php</span>, from <span style="color:green; text-decoration: underline;">PHP Labware</span>.
+ </div>
+
+
+-- 3.3.3 Tag balancing and proper nesting -------------------------o
+
+
+ If '$config["balance"]' is set to '1', htmLawed (function 'hl_bal()') checks and corrects the input to have properly balanced tags and legal element content (i.e., any element nesting should be valid, and plain text may be present only in the content of elements that allow them).
+
+ Depending on the value of '$config["keep_bad"]' (see section:- #2.2 and section:- #3.3), illegal content may be removed or neutralized to plain text by converting < and > to entities:
+
+ '0' - remove; this option is available only to maintain Kses-compatibility and should not be used otherwise (see section:- #2.6)
+ '1' - neutralize tags and keep element content
+ '2' - remove tags but keep element content
+ '3' and '4' - like '1' and '2', but keep element content only if text ('pcdata') is valid in parent element as per specs
+ '5' and '6' - like '3' and '4', but line-breaks, tabs and spaces are left
+
+ Example input (disallowing the 'p' element):
+
+ <*> Pseudo-tags <*>
+ <xml>Non-HTML tag xml</xml>
+ <p>
+ Disallowed tag p
+ </p>
+ <ul>Bad<li>OK</li></ul>
+
+ The output with '$config["keep_bad"] = 1':
+
+ &lt;*&gt; Pseudo-tags &lt;*&gt;
+ &lt;xml&gt;Non-HTML tag xml&lt;/xml&gt;
+ &lt;p&gt;
+ Disallowed tag p
+ &lt;/p&gt;
+ <ul>Bad<li>OK</li></ul>
+
+ The output with '$config["keep_bad"] = 3':
+
+ &lt;*&gt; Pseudo-tags &lt;*&gt;
+ &lt;xml&gt;Non-HTML tag xml&lt;/xml&gt;
+ &lt;p&gt;
+ Disallowed tag p
+ &lt;/p&gt;
+ <ul><li>OK</li></ul>
+
+ The output with '$config["keep_bad"] = 6':
+
+ &lt;*&gt; Pseudo-tags &lt;*&gt;
+ Non-HTML tag xml
+
+ Disallowed tag p
+
+ <ul><li>OK</li></ul>
+
+ An option like '1' is useful, e.g., when a writer previews his submission, whereas one like '3' is useful before content is finalized and made available to all.
+
+ *Note:* In the example above, unlike '<*>', '<xml>' gets considered as a tag (even though there is no HTML element named 'xml'). Thus, the 'keep_bad' parameter's value affects '<xml>' but not '<*>'. In general, text matching the regular expression pattern '<(/?)([a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z1-6]*)([^>]*?)\s?>' is considered a tag (phrase enclosed by the angled brackets '<' and '>', and starting [with an optional slash preceding] with an alphanumeric word that starts with an alphabet...), and is subjected to the 'keep_bad' value.
+
+ Nesting/content rules for each of the 86 elements in htmLawed's default set (see section:- #3.3) are defined in function 'hl_bal()'. This means that if a non-standard element besides 'embed' is being permitted through '$config["elements"]', the element's tag content will end up getting removed if '$config["balance"]' is set to '1'.
+
+ Plain text and/or certain elements nested inside 'blockquote', 'form', 'map' and 'noscript' need to be in block-level elements. This point is often missed during manual writing of HTML code. htmLawed attempts to address this during balancing. E.g., if the parent container is set as 'form', the input 'B:<input type="text" value="b" />C:<input type="text" value="c" />' is converted to '<div>B:<input type="text" value="b" />C:<input type="text" value="c" /></div>'.
+
+
+-- 3.3.4 Elements requiring child elements ------------------------o
+
+
+ As per specs, the following elements require legal child elements nested inside them:
+
+ blockquote, dir, dl, form, map, menu, noscript, ol, optgroup, rbc, rtc, ruby, select, table, tbody, tfoot, thead, tr, ul
+
+ In some cases, the specs stipulate the number and/or the ordering of the child elements. A 'table' can have 0 or 1 'caption', 'tbody', 'tfoot', and 'thead', but they must be in this order: 'caption', 'thead', 'tfoot', 'tbody'.
+
+ htmLawed currently does not check for conformance to these rules. Note that any non-compliance in this regard will not introduce security vulnerabilities, crash browser applications, or affect the rendering of web-pages.
+
+ With '$config["direct_list_nest"]' set to '1', htmLawed will allow direct nesting of an 'ol' or 'ul' list within another 'ol' or 'ul' without requiring the child list to be within an 'li' of the parent list. While this is not standard-compliant, directly nested lists are rendered properly by almost all browsers. The parameter '$config["direct_list_nest"]' has no effect if tag-balancing (section:- #3.3.3) is turned off.
+
+
+-- 3.3.5 Beautify or compact HTML ---------------------------------o
+
+
+ By default, htmLawed will neither `beautify` HTML code by formatting it with indentations, etc., nor will it make it compact by removing un-needed white-space.(It does always properly white-space tag content.)
+
+ As per the HTML standards, spaces, tabs and line-breaks in web-pages (except those inside 'pre' elements) are all considered equivalent, and referred to as `white-spaces`. Browser applications are supposed to consider contiguous white-spaces as just a single space, and to disregard white-spaces trailing opening tags or preceding closing tags. This white-space `normalization` allows the use of text/code beautifully formatted with indentations and line-spacings for readability. Such `pretty` HTML can, however, increase the size of web-pages, or make the extraction or scraping of plain text cumbersome.
+
+ With the '$config' parameter 'tidy', htmLawed can be used to beautify or compact the input text. Input with just plain text and no HTML markup is also subject to this. Besides 'pre', the 'script' and 'textarea' elements, CDATA sections, and HTML comments are not subjected to the tidying process.
+
+ To `compact`, use '$config["tidy"] = -1'; single instances or runs of white-spaces are replaced with a single space, and white-spaces trailing and leading open and closing tags, respectively, are removed.
+
+ To `beautify`, '$config["tidy"]' is set as '1', or for customized tidying, as a string like '2s2n'. The 's' or 't' character specifies the use of spaces or tabs for indentation. The first and third characters, any of the digits 0-9, specify the number of spaces or tabs per indentation, and any parental lead spacing (extra indenting of the whole block of input text). The 'r' and 'n' characters are used to specify line-break characters: 'n' for '\n' (Unix/Mac OS X line-breaks), 'rn' or 'nr' for '\r\n' (Windows/DOS line-breaks), or 'r' for '\r'.
+
+ The '$config["tidy"]' value of '1' is equivalent to '2s0n'. Other '$config["tidy"]' values are read loosely: a value of '4' is equivalent to '4s0n'; 't2', to '1t2n'; 's', to '2s0n'; '2TR', to '2t0r'; 'T1', to '1t1n'; 'nr3', to '3s0nr', and so on. Except in the indentations and line-spacings, runs of white-spaces are replaced with a single space during beautification.
+
+ Input formatting using '$config["tidy"]' is not recommended when input text has mixed markup (like HTML + PHP).
+
+
+-- 3.4 Attributes ------------------------------------------------oo
+
+
+ htmLawed will only permit attributes described in the HTML specs (including deprecated ones). It also permits some attributes for use with the 'embed' element (the non-standard 'embed' element is supported in htmLawed because of its widespread use), and the the 'xml:space' attribute (valid only in XHTML 1.1). A list of such 111 attributes and the elements they are allowed in is in section:- #5.2. Using the '$spec' argument, htmLawed can be forced to permit custom, non-standard attributes as well as custom rules for standard attributes (section:- #2.3).
+
+ When '$config["deny_attribute"]' is not set, or set to '0', or empty ('""'), all the 111 attributes are permitted. Otherwise, '$config["deny_attribute"]' can be set as a list of comma-separated names of the denied attributes. 'on*' can be used to refer to the group of potentially dangerous, script-accepting attributes: 'onblur', 'onchange', 'onclick', 'ondblclick', 'onfocus', 'onkeydown', 'onkeypress', 'onkeyup', 'onmousedown', 'onmousemove', 'onmouseout', 'onmouseover', 'onmouseup', 'onreset', 'onselect' and 'onsubmit'.
+
+ Note that attributes specified in '$config["deny_attribute"]' are denied globally, for all elements. To deny attributes for only specific elements, '$spec' (see section:- #2.3) can be used. '$spec' can also be used to element-specifically permit an attribute otherwise denied through '$config["deny_attribute"]'.
+
+ With '$config["safe"] = 1' (section:- #3.6), the 'on*' attributes are automatically disallowed.
+
+ *Note*: To deny all but a few attributes globally, a simpler way to specify '$config["deny_attribute"]' would be to use the notation '* -attribute1 -attribute2 ...'. Thus, a value of '* -title -href' implies that except 'href' and 'title' (where allowed as per standards) all other attributes are to be removed. With this notation, the value for the parameter 'safe' (section:- #3.6) will have no effect on 'deny_attribute'.
+
+ htmLawed (function 'hl_tag()') also:
+
+ * Lower-cases attribute names
+ * Removes duplicate attributes (last one stays)
+ * Gives attributes the form 'name="value"' and single-spaces them, removing unnecessary white-spacing
+ * Provides `required` attributes (see section:- #3.4.1)
+ * Double-quotes values and escapes any '"' inside them
+ * Replaces the possibly dangerous soft-hyphen characters (hexadecimal code-point 'ad') in the values with spaces
+ * Allows custom function to additionally filter/modify attribute values (see section:- #3.4.9)
+
+
+.. 3.4.1 Auto-addition of XHTML-required attributes ................
+
+
+ If indicated attributes for the following elements are found missing, htmLawed (function 'hl_tag()') will add them (with values same as attribute names unless indicated otherwise below):
+
+ * area - alt ('area')
+ * area, img - src, alt ('image')
+ * bdo - dir ('ltr')
+ * form - action
+ * map - name
+ * optgroup - label
+ * param - name
+ * script - type ('text/javascript')
+ * textarea - rows ('10'), cols ('50')
+
+ Additionally, with '$config["xml:lang"]' set to '1' or '2', if the 'lang' but not the 'xml:lang' attribute is declared, then the latter is added too, with a value copied from that of 'lang'. This is for better standard-compliance. With '$config["xml:lang"]' set to '2', the 'lang' attribute is removed (XHTML 1.1 specs).
+
+ Note that the 'name' attribute for 'map', invalid in XHTML 1.1, is also transformed if required -- see section:- #3.4.6.
+
+
+.. 3.4.2 Duplicate/invalid 'id' values ............................o
+
+
+ If '$config["unique_ids"]' is '1', htmLawed (function 'hl_tag()') removes 'id' attributes with values that are not XHTML-compliant (must begin with a letter and can contain letters, digits, ':', '.', '-' and '_') or duplicate. If '$config["unique_ids"]' is a word, any duplicate but otherwise valid value will be appropriately prefixed with the word to ensure its uniqueness. The word should begin with a letter and should contain only letters, numbers, ':', '.', '_' and '-'.
+
+ Even if multiple inputs need to be filtered (through multiple calls to htmLawed), htmLawed ensures uniqueness of 'id' values as it uses a global variable ('$GLOBALS["hl_Ids"]' array). Further, an admin can restrict the use of certain 'id' values by presetting this variable before htmLawed is called into use. E.g.:
+
+ $GLOBALS['hl_Ids'] = array('top'=>1, 'bottom'=>1, 'myform'=>1); // id values not allowed in input
+ $processed = htmLawed($text); // filter input
+
+
+.. 3.4.3 URL schemes (protocols) and scripts in attribute values ............o
+
+
+ htmLawed edits attributes that take URLs as values if they are found to contain un-permitted schemes. E.g., if the 'afp' scheme is not permitted, then '<a href="afp://domain.org">' becomes '<a href="denied:afp://domain.org">', and if Javascript is not permitted '<a onclick="javascript:xss();">' becomes '<a onclick="denied:javascript:xss();">'.
+
+ By default htmLawed permits these schemes in URLs for the 'href' attribute:
+
+ aim, feed, file, ftp, gopher, http, https, irc, mailto, news, nntp, sftp, ssh, telnet
+
+ Also, only 'file', 'http' and 'https' are permitted in attributes whose names start with 'o' (like 'onmouseover'), and in these attributes that accept URLs:
+
+ action, cite, classid, codebase, data, href, longdesc, model, pluginspage, pluginurl, src, style, usemap
+
+ These default sets are used when '$config["schemes"]' is not set (see section:- #2.2). To over-ride the defaults, '$config["schemes"]' is defined as a string of semi-colon-separated sub-strings of type 'attribute: comma-separated schemes'. E.g., 'href: mailto, http, https; onclick: javascript; src: http, https'. For unspecified attributes, 'file', 'http' and 'https' are permitted. This can be changed by passing schemes for '*' in '$config["schemes"]'. E.g., 'href: mailto, http, https; *: https, https'.
+
+ '*' can be put in the list of schemes to permit all protocols. E.g., 'style: *; img: http, https' results in protocols not being checked in 'style' attribute values. However, in such cases, any relative-to-absolute URL conversion, or vice versa, (section:- #3.4.4) is not done.
+
+ Thus, `to allow Javascript`, one can set '$config["schemes"]' as 'href: mailto, http, https; *: http, https, javascript', or 'href: mailto, http, https, javascript; *: http, https, javascript', or '*: *', and so on.
+
+ As a side-note, one may find 'style: *' useful as URLs in 'style' attributes can be specified in a variety of ways, and the patterns that htmLawed uses to identify URLs may mistakenly identify non-URL text.
+
+ '!' can be put in the list of schemes to disallow all protocols as well as `local` URLs. Thus, with 'href: http, style: !', '<a href="http://cnn.com" style="background-image: url('local.jpg');">CNN</a>' will become '<a href="http://cnn.com" style="background-image: url('denied:local.jpg');">CNN</a>'.
+
+ *Note*: If URL-accepting attributes other than those listed above are being allowed, then the scheme will not be checked unless the attribute name contains the string 'src' (e.g., 'dynsrc') or starts with 'o' (e.g., 'onbeforecopy').
+
+ With '$config["safe"] = 1', all URLs are disallowed in the 'style' attribute values.
+
+
+.. 3.4.4 Absolute & relative URLs in attribute values .............o
+
+
+ htmLawed can make absolute URLs in attributes like 'href' relative ('$config["abs_url"]' is '-1'), and vice versa ('$config["abs_url"]' is '1'). URLs in scripts are not considered for this, and so are URLs like '#section_6' (fragment), '?name=Tim#show' (starting with query string), and ';var=1?name=Tim#show' (starting with parameters). Further, this requires that '$config["base_url"]' be set properly, with the '://' and a trailing slash ('/'), with no query string, etc. E.g., 'file:///D:/page/', 'https://abc.com/x/y/', or 'http://localhost/demo/' are okay, but 'file:///D:/page/?help=1', 'abc.com/x/y/' and 'http://localhost/demo/index.htm' are not.
+
+ For making absolute URLs relative, only those URLs that have the '$config["base_url"]' string at the beginning are converted. E.g., with '$config["base_url"] = "https://abc.com/x/y/"', 'https://abc.com/x/y/a.gif' and 'https://abc.com/x/y/z/b.gif' become 'a.gif' and 'z/b.gif' respectively, while 'https://abc.com/x/c.gif' is not changed.
+
+ When making relative URLs absolute, only values for scheme, network location (host-name) and path values in the base URL are inherited. See section:- #5.5 for more about the URL specification as per RFC 1808:- http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1808.txt.
+
+
+.. 3.4.5 Lower-cased, standard attribute values ....................o
+
+
+ Optionally, for standard-compliance, htmLawed (function 'hl_tag()') lower-cases standard attribute values to give, e.g., 'input type="password"' instead of 'input type="Password"', if '$config["lc_std_val"]' is '1'. Attribute values matching those listed below for any of the elements (plus those for the 'type' attribute of 'button' or 'input') are lower-cased:
+
+ all, baseline, bottom, button, center, char, checkbox, circle, col, colgroup, cols, data, default, file, get, groups, hidden, image, justify, left, ltr, middle, none, object, password, poly, post, preserve, radio, rect, ref, reset, right, row, rowgroup, rows, rtl, submit, text, top
+
+ a, area, bdo, button, col, form, img, input, object, option, optgroup, param, script, select, table, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, xml:space
+
+ The following `empty` (`minimized`) attributes are always assigned lower-cased values (same as the names):
+
+ checked, compact, declare, defer, disabled, ismap, multiple, nohref, noresize, noshade, nowrap, readonly, selected
+
+
+.. 3.4.6 Transformation of deprecated attributes ..................o
+
+
+ If '$config["no_deprecated_attr"]' is '0', then deprecated attributes (see appendix in section:- #5.2) are removed and, in most cases, their values are transformed to CSS style properties and added to the 'style' attributes (function 'hl_tag()'). Except for 'bordercolor' for 'table', 'tr' and 'td', the scores of proprietary attributes that were never part of any cross-browser standard are not supported.
+
+ *Note*: The attribute 'target' for 'a' is allowed even though it is not in XHTML 1.0 specs. This is because of the attribute's wide-spread use and browser-support, and because the attribute is valid in XHTML 1.1 onwards.
+
+ * align - for 'img' with value of 'left' or 'right', becomes, e.g., 'float: left'; for 'div' and 'table' with value 'center', becomes 'margin: auto'; all others become, e.g., 'text-align: right'
+
+ * bgcolor - E.g., 'bgcolor="#ffffff"' becomes 'background-color: #ffffff'
+ * border - E.g., 'height= "10"' becomes 'height: 10px'
+ * bordercolor - E.g., 'bordercolor=#999999' becomes 'border-color: #999999;'
+ * compact - 'font-size: 85%'
+ * clear - E.g., 'clear="all" becomes 'clear: both'
+
+ * height - E.g., 'height= "10"' becomes 'height: 10px' and 'height="*"' becomes 'height: auto'
+
+ * hspace - E.g., 'hspace="10"' becomes 'margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px'
+ * language - 'language="VBScript"' becomes 'type="text/vbscript"'
+ * name - E.g., 'name="xx"' becomes 'id="xx"'
+ * noshade - 'border-style: none; border: 0; background-color: gray; color: gray'
+ * nowrap - 'white-space: nowrap'
+ * size - E.g., 'size="10"' becomes 'height: 10px'
+ * start - removed
+ * type - E.g., 'type="i"' becomes 'list-style-type: lower-roman'
+ * value - removed
+ * vspace - E.g., 'vspace="10"' becomes 'margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px'
+ * width - like 'height'
+
+ Example input:
+
+ <img src="j.gif" alt="image" name="dad's" /><img src="k.gif" alt="image" id="dad_off" name="dad" />
+ <br clear="left" />
+ <hr noshade size="1" />
+ <img name="img" src="i.gif" align="left" alt="image" hspace="10" vspace="10" width="10em" height="20" border="1" style="padding:5px;" />
+ <table width="50em" align="center" bgcolor="red">
+ <tr>
+ <td width="20%">
+ <div align="center">
+ <h3 align="right">Section</h3>
+ <p align="right">Para</p>
+ <ol type="a" start="e"><li value="x">First item</li></ol>
+ </div>
+ </td>
+ <td width="*">
+ <ol type="1"><li>First item</li></ol>
+ </td>
+ </tr>
+ </table>
+ <br clear="all" />
+
+ And the output with '$config["no_deprecated_attr"] = 1':
+
+ <img src="j.gif" alt="image" /><img src="k.gif" alt="image" id="dad_off" />
+ <br style="clear: left;" />
+ <hr style="border-style: none; border: 0; background-color: gray; color: gray; size: 1px;" />
+ <img src="i.gif" alt="image" width="10em" height="20" style="padding:5px; float: left; margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px; margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; border: 1px;" id="img" />
+ <table width="50em" style="margin: auto; background-color: red;">
+ <tr>
+ <td style="width: 20%;">
+ <div style="margin: auto;">
+ <h3 style="text-align: right;">Section</h3>
+ <p style="text-align: right;">Para</p>
+ <ol style="list-style-type: lower-latin;"><li>First item</li></ol>
+ </div>
+ </td>
+ <td style="width: auto;">
+ <ol style="list-style-type: decimal;"><li>First item</li></ol>
+ </td>
+ </tr>
+ </table>
+ <br style="clear: both;" />
+
+ For 'lang', deprecated in XHTML 1.1, transformation is taken care of through '$config["xml:lang"]'; see section:- #3.4.1.
+
+ The attribute 'name' is deprecated in 'form', 'iframe', and 'img', and is replaced with 'id' if an 'id' attribute doesn't exist and if the 'name' value is appropriate for 'id'. For such replacements for 'a' and 'map', for which the 'name' attribute is deprecated in XHTML 1.1, '$config["no_deprecated_attr"]' should be set to '2' (when set to '1', for these two elements, the 'name' attribute is retained).
+
+
+-- 3.4.7 Anti-spam & 'href' ---------------------------------------o
+
+
+ htmLawed (function 'hl_tag()') can check the 'href' attribute values (link addresses) as an anti-spam (email or link spam) measure.
+
+ If '$config["anti_mail_spam"]' is not '0', the '@' of email addresses in 'href' values like 'mailto:a@b.com' is replaced with text specified by '$config["anti_mail_spam"]'. The text should be of a form that makes it clear to others that the address needs to be edited before a mail is sent; e.g., '<remove_this_antispam>@' (makes the example address 'a<remove_this_antispam>@b.com').
+
+ For regular links, one can choose to have a 'rel' attribute with 'nofollow' in its value (which tells some search engines to not follow a link). This can discourage link spammers. Additionally, or as an alternative, one can choose to empty the 'href' value altogether (disable the link).
+
+ For use of these options, '$config["anti_link_spam"]' should be set as an array with values 'regex1' and 'regex2', both or one of which can be empty (like 'array("", "regex2")') to indicate that that option is not to be used. Otherwise, 'regex1' or 'regex2' should be PHP- and PCRE-compatible regular expression patterns: 'href' values will be matched against them and those matching the pattern will accordingly be treated.
+
+ Note that the regular expressions should have `delimiters`, and be well-formed and preferably fast. Absolute efficiency/accuracy is often not needed.
+
+ An example, to have a 'rel' attribute with 'nofollow' for all links, and to disable links that do not point to domains 'abc.com' and 'xyz.org':
+
+ $config["anti_link_spam"] = array('`.`', '`://\W*(?!(abc\.com|xyz\.org))`');
+
+
+-- 3.4.8 Inline style properties ----------------------------------o
+
+
+ htmLawed can check URL schemes and dynamic expressions (to guard against Javascript, etc., script-based insecurities) in inline CSS style property values in the 'style' attributes. (CSS properties like 'background-image' that accept URLs in their values are noted in section:- #5.3.) Dynamic CSS expressions that allow scripting in the IE browser, and can be a vulnerability, can be removed from property values by setting '$config["css_expression"]' to '1' (default setting). Note that when '$config["css_expression"]' is set to '1', htmLawed will remove '/*' from the 'style' values.
+
+ *Note*: Because of the various ways of representing characters in attribute values (URL-escapement, entitification, etc.), htmLawed might alter the values of the 'style' attribute values, and may even falsely identify dynamic CSS expressions and URL schemes in them. If this is an important issue, checking of URLs and dynamic expressions can be turned off ('$config["schemes"] = "...style:*..."', see section:- #3.4.3, and '$config["css_expression"] = 0'). Alternately, admins can use their own custom function for finer handling of 'style' values through the 'hook_tag' parameter (see section:- #3.4.9).
+
+ It is also possible to have htmLawed let through any 'style' value by setting '$config["style_pass"]' to '1'.
+
+ As such, it is better to set up a CSS file with class declarations, disallow the 'style' attribute, set a '$spec' rule (see section:- #2.3) for 'class' for the 'oneof' or 'match' parameter, and ask writers to make use of the 'class' attribute.
+
+
+-- 3.4.9 Hook function for tag content ----------------------------o
+
+
+ It is possible to utilize a custom hook function to alter the tag content htmLawed has finalized (i.e., after it has checked/corrected for required attributes, transformed attributes, lower-cased attribute names, etc.).
+
+ When '$config' parameter 'hook_tag' is set to the name of a function, htmLawed (function 'hl_tag()') will pass on the element name, and, in the case of an opening tag, the `finalized` attribute name-value pairs as array elements to the function. The function, after completing a task such as filtering or tag transformation, will typically return an empty string, the full opening tag string like '<element_name attribute_1_name="attribute_1_value"...>' (for empty elements like 'img' and 'input', the element-closing slash '/' should also be included), etc.
+
+ Any 'hook_tag' function, since htmLawed version 1.1.11, also receives names of elements in closing tags, such as 'a' in the closing '</a>' tag of the element '<a href="http://cnn.com">CNN</a>'. Unlike for opening tags, no other value (i.e., the attribute name-value array) is passed to the function since a closing tag contains only element names. Typically, the function will return an empty string or a full closing tag (like '</a>').
+
+ This is a *powerful functionality* that can be exploited for various objectives: consolidate-and-convert inline 'style' attributes to 'class', convert 'embed' elements to 'object', permit only one 'caption' element in a 'table' element, disallow embedding of certain types of media, *inject HTML*, use CSSTidy:- http://csstidy.sourceforge.net to sanitize 'style' attribute values, etc.
+
+ As an example, the custom hook code below can be used to force a series of specifically ordered 'id' attributes on all elements, and a specific 'param' element inside all 'object' elements:
+
+ function my_tag_function($element, $attribute_array=0){
+
+ // If second argument is not received, it means a closing tag is being handled
+ if(is_numeric($attribute_array)){
+ return "</$element>";
+ }
+
+ static $id = 0;
+ // Remove any duplicate element
+ if($element == 'param' && isset($attribute_array['allowscriptaccess'])){
+ return '';
+ }
+
+ $new_element = '';
+
+ // Force a serialized ID number
+ $attribute_array['id'] = 'my_'. $id;
+ ++$id;
+
+ // Inject param for allowscriptaccess
+ if($element == 'object'){
+ $new_element = '<param id='my_'. $id; allowscriptaccess="never" />';
+ ++$id;
+ }
+
+ $string = '';
+ foreach($attribute_array as $k=>$v){
+ $string .= " {$k}=\"{$v}\"";
+ }
+
+ static $empty_elements = array('area'=>1, 'br'=>1, 'col'=>1, 'embed'=>1, 'hr'=>1, 'img'=>1, 'input'=>1, 'isindex'=>1, 'param'=>1);
+
+ return "<{$element}{$string}". (isset($in_array($element, $empty_elements) ? ' /' : ''). '>'. $new_element;
+ }
+
+ The 'hook_tag' parameter is different from the 'hook' parameter (section:- #3.7).
+
+ Snippets of hook function code developed by others may be available on the htmLawed:- http://www.bioinformatics.org/phplabware/internal_utilities/htmLawed website.
+
+
+-- 3.5 Simple configuration directive for most valid XHTML -------oo
+
+
+ If '$config["valid_xhtml"]' is set to '1', some relevant '$config' parameters (indicated by '~' in section:- #2.2) are auto-adjusted. This allows one to pass the '$config' argument with a simpler value. If a value for a parameter auto-set through 'valid_xhtml' is still manually provided, then that value will over-ride the auto-set value.
+
+
+-- 3.6 Simple configuration directive for most `safe` HTML --------o
+
+
+ `Safe` HTML refers to HTML that is restricted to reduce the vulnerability for scripting attacks (such as XSS) based on HTML code which otherwise may still be legal and compliant with the HTML standard specs. When elements such as 'script' and 'object', and attributes such as 'onmouseover' and 'style' are allowed in the input text, an input writer can introduce malevolent HTML code. Note that what is considered 'safe' depends on the nature of the web application and the trust-level accorded to its users.
+
+ htmLawed allows an admin to use '$config["safe"]' to auto-adjust multiple '$config' parameters (such as 'elements' which declares the allowed element-set), which otherwise would have to be manually set. The relevant parameters are indicated by '"' in section:- #2.2). Thus, one can pass the '$config' argument with a simpler value.
+
+ With the value of '1', htmLawed considers 'CDATA' sections and HTML comments as plain text, and prohibits the 'applet', 'embed', 'iframe', 'object' and 'script' elements, and the 'on*' attributes like 'onclick'. ( There are '$config' parameters like 'css_expression' that are not affected by the value set for 'safe' but whose default values still contribute towards a more `safe` output.) Further, URLs with schemes (see section:- #3.4.3) are neutralized so that, e.g., 'style="moz-binding:url(http://danger)"' becomes 'style="moz-binding:url(denied:http://danger)"'.
+
+ Admins, however, may still want to completely deny the 'style' attribute, e.g., with code like
+
+ $processed = htmLawed($text, array('safe'=>1, 'deny_attribute'=>'style'));
+
+ Permitting the 'style' attribute brings in risks of `click-jacking`, etc. CSS property values can render a page non-functional or be used to deface it. Except for URLs, dynamic expressions, and some other things, htmLawed does not completely check 'style' values. It does provide ways for the code-developer implementing htmLawed to do such checks through the '$spec' argument, and through the 'hook_tag' parameter (see section:- #3.4.8 for more). Disallowing style completely and relying on CSS classes and stylesheet files is recommended.
+
+ If a value for a parameter auto-set through 'safe' is still manually provided, then that value can over-ride the auto-set value. E.g., with '$config["safe"] = 1' and '$config["elements"] = "*+script"', 'script', but not 'applet', is allowed.
+
+ A page illustrating the efficacy of htmLawed's anti-XSS abilities with 'safe' set to '1' against XSS vectors listed by RSnake:- http://ha.ckers.org/xss.html may be available here:- http://www.bioinformatics.org/phplabware/internal_utilities/htmLawed/rsnake/RSnakeXSSTest.htm.
+
+
+-- 3.7 Using a hook function --------------------------------------o
+
+
+ If '$config["hook"]' is not set to '0', then htmLawed will allow preliminarily processed input to be altered by a hook function named by '$config["hook"]' before starting the main work (but after handling of characters, entities, HTML comments and 'CDATA' sections -- see code for function 'htmLawed()').
+
+ The hook function also allows one to alter the `finalized` values of '$config' and '$spec'.
+
+ Note that the 'hook' parameter is different from the 'hook_tag' parameter (section:- #3.4.9).
+
+ Snippets of hook function code developed by others may be available on the htmLawed:- http://www.bioinformatics.org/phplabware/internal_utilities/htmLawed website.
+
+
+-- 3.8 Obtaining `finalized` parameter values ---------------------o
+
+
+ htmLawed can assign the `finalized` '$config' and '$spec' values to a variable named by '$config["show_setting"]'. The variable, made global by htmLawed, is set as an array with three keys: 'config', with the '$config' value, 'spec', with the '$spec' value, and 'time', with a value that is the Unix time (the output of PHP's 'microtime()' function) when the value was assigned. Admins should use a PHP-compliant variable name (e.g., one that does not begin with a numerical digit) that does not conflict with variable names in their non-htmLawed code.
+
+ The values, which are also post-hook function (if any), can be used to auto-generate information (on, e.g., the elements that are permitted) for input writers.
+
+
+-- 3.9 Retaining non-HTML tags in input with mixed markup ---------o
+
+
+ htmLawed does not remove certain characters that, though invalid, are nevertheless `discouraged` in HTML documents as per the specifications (see section:- #5.1). This can be utilized to deal with input that contains mixed markup. Input that may have HTML markup as well as some other markup that is based on the '<', '>' and '&' characters is considered to have mixed markup. The non-HTML markup can be rather proprietary (like markup for emoticons/smileys), or standard (like MathML or SVG). Or it can be programming code meant for execution/evaluation (such as embedded PHP code).
+
+ To deal with such mixed markup, the input text can be pre-processed to hide the non-HTML markup by specifically replacing the '<', '>' and '&' characters with some of the HTML-discouraged characters (see section:- #3.1.2). Post-htmLawed processing, the replacements are reverted.
+
+ An example (mixed HTML and PHP code in input text):
+
+ $text = preg_replace('`<\?php(.+?)\?>`sm', "\x83?php\\1?\x84", $text);
+ $processed = htmLawed($text);
+ $processed = preg_replace('`\x83\?php(.+?)\?\x84`sm', '<?php$1?>', $processed);
+
+ This code will not work if '$config["clean_ms_char"]' is set to '1' (section:- #3.1), in which case one should instead deploy a hook function (section:- #3.7). (htmLawed internally uses certain control characters, code-points '1' to '7', and use of these characters as markers in the logic of hook functions may cause issues.)
+
+ Admins may also be able to use '$config["and_mark"]' to deal with such mixed markup; see section:- #3.2.

+
+
+-- 4.4 Testing ----------------------------------------------------o
+
+
+ To test htmLawed using a form interface, a demo:- htmLawedTest.php web-page is provided with the htmLawed distribution ('htmLawed.php' and 'htmLawedTest.php' should be in the same directory on the web-server). A file with test-cases:- htmLawed_TESTCASE.txt is also provided.
+
+
+-- 4.5 Upgrade, & old versions ------------------------------------o
+
+
+ Upgrading is as simple as replacing the previous version of 'htmLawed.php' (assuming it was not modified for customized features). As htmLawed output is almost always used in static documents, upgrading should not affect old, finalized content.
+
+ *Important* The following upgrades may affect the functionality of a specific htmLawed installation:
+
+ (1) From version 1.1-1.1.10 to 1.1.11 (or later), if a 'hook_tag' function is in use: In version 1.1.11, elements in closing tags (and not just the opening tags) are also passed to the function. There are no attribute names/values to pass, so a 'hook_tag' function receives only the element name. The 'hook_tag' function therefore may have to be edited. See section:- #3.4.9.
+
+ Old versions of htmLawed may be available online. E.g., for version 1.0, check http://www.bioinformatics.org/phplabware/downloads/htmLawed1.zip, for 1.1.1, htmLawed111.zip, and for 1.1.10, htmLawed1110.zip.
+
+
+-- 4.6 Comparison with 'HTMLPurifier' -----------------------------o
+
+
+ The HTMLPurifier PHP library by Edward Yang is a very good HTML filtering script that uses object oriented PHP code. Compared to htmLawed, it (as of year 2010):
+
+ * does not support PHP versions older than 5.0 (HTMLPurifier dropped PHP 4 support after version 2)
+
+ * is 15-20 times bigger (scores of files totalling more than 750 kb)
+
+ * consumes 10-15 times more RAM memory (just including the HTMLPurifier files without calling the filter requires a few MBs of memory)
+
+ * is expectedly slower
+
+ * does not allow admins to fully allow all valid HTML (because of incomplete HTML support, it always considers elements like 'script' illegal)
+
+ * lacks many of the extra features of htmLawed (like entity conversions and code compaction/beautification)
+
+ * has poor documentation
+
+ However, HTMLPurifier has finer checks for character encodings and attribute values, and can log warnings and errors. Visit the HTMLPurifier website:- http://htmlpurifier.org for updated information.
+
+
+-- 4.7 Use through application plug-ins/modules -------------------o
+
+
+ Plug-ins/modules to implement htmLawed in applications such as Drupal and DokuWiki may have been developed. Please check the application websites and the forum on the htmLawed site:- http://www.bioinformatics.org/phplabware/internal_utilities/htmLawed.
+
+
+-- 4.8 Use in non-PHP applications --------------------------------o
+
+
+ Non-PHP applications written in Python, Ruby, etc., may be able to use htmLawed through system calls to the PHP engine. Such code may have been documented on the internet. Also check the forum on the htmLawed site:- http://www.bioinformatics.org/phplabware/internal_utilities/htmLawed.

+
+-- 5.5 URL format -------------------------------------------------o
+
+
+ An `absolute` URL has a 'protocol' or 'scheme', a 'network location' or 'hostname', and, optional 'path', 'parameters', 'query' and 'fragment' segments. Thus, an absolute URL has this generic structure:
+
+ (scheme) : (//network location) /(path) ;(parameters) ?(query) #(fragment)
+
+ The schemes can only contain letters, digits, '+', '.' and '-'. Hostname is the portion after the '//' and up to the first '/' (if any; else, up to the end) when ':' is followed by a '//' (e.g., 'abc.com' in 'ftp://abc.com/def'); otherwise, it consists of everything after the ':' (e.g., 'def@abc.com' in mailto:def@abc.com').
+
+ `Relative` URLs do not have explicit schemes and network locations; such values are inherited from a `base` URL.
+
+
+-- 5.6 Brief on htmLawed code -------------------------------------o
+
+
+ Much of the code's logic and reasoning can be understood from the documentation above.
+
+ The *output* of htmLawed is a text string containing the processed input. There is no custom error tracking.
+
+ *Function arguments* for htmLawed are:
+
+ * '$in' - first argument; a text string; the *input text* to be processed. Any extraneous slashes added by PHP when `magic quotes` are enabled should be removed beforehand using PHP's 'stripslashes()' function.
+
+ * '$config' - second argument; an associative array; optional; named '$C' within htmLawed code. The array has keys with names like 'balance' and 'keep_bad', and the values, which can be boolean, string, or array, depending on the key, are read to accordingly set the *configurable parameters* (indicated by the keys). All configurable parameters receive some default value if the value to be used is not specified by the user through '$config'. `Finalized` '$config' is thus a filtered and possibly larger array.
+
+ * '$spec' - third argument; a text string; optional. The string has rules, written in an htmLawed-designated format, *specifying* element-specific attribute and attribute value restrictions. Function 'hl_spec()' is used to convert the string to an associative-array, named '$S' within htmLawed code, for internal use. `Finalized` '$spec' is thus an array.
+
+ `Finalized` '$config' and '$spec' are made *global variables* while htmLawed is at work. Values of any pre-existing global variables with same names are noted, and their values are restored after htmLawed finishes processing the input (to capture the `finalized` values, the 'show_settings' parameter of '$config' should be used). Depending on '$config', another global variable 'hl_Ids', to track 'id' attribute values for uniqueness, may be set. Unlike the other two variables, this one is not reset (or unset) post-processing.
+
+ Except for the main function 'htmLawed()' and the functions 'kses()' and 'kses_hook()', htmLawed's functions are *name-spaced* using the 'hl_' prefix. The *functions* and their roles are:
+
+ * 'hl_attrval' - checking attribute values against $spec
+ * 'hl_bal' - tag balancing
+ * 'hl_cmtcd' - handling CDATA sections and HTML comments
+ * 'hl_ent' - entity handling
+ * 'hl_prot' - checking a URL scheme/protocol
+ * 'hl_regex' - checking syntax of a regular expression
+ * 'hl_spec' - converting user-supplied $spec value to one used by htmLawed internally
+ * 'hl_tag' - handling tags
+ * 'hl_tag2' - transforming tags
+ * 'hl_tidy' - compact/beautify HTML
+ * 'hl_version' - reporting htmLawed version
+ * 'htmLawed' - main function
+ * 'kses' - main function of 'kses'
+ * 'kses_hook' - hook function of 'kses'
+
+ The last two are for compatibility with pre-existing code using the 'kses' script. htmLawed's 'kses()' basically passes on the filtering task to 'htmLawed()' function after deciphering '$config' and '$spec' from the argument values supplied to it. 'kses_hook()' is an empty function and is meant for being filled with custom code if the 'kses' script users were using one.
+
+ 'htmLawed()' finalizes '$spec' (with the help of 'hl_spec()') and '$config', and globalizes them. Finalization of '$config' involves setting default values if an inappropriate or invalid one is supplied. This includes calling 'hl_regex()' to check well-formedness of regular expression patterns if such expressions are user-supplied through '$config'. 'htmLawed()' then removes invalid characters like nulls and 'x01' and appropriately handles entities using 'hl_ent()'. HTML comments and CDATA sections are identified and treated as per '$config' with the help of 'hl_cmtcd()'. When retained, the '<' and '>' characters identifying them, and the '<', '>' and '&' characters inside them, are replaced with control characters (code-points '1' to '5') till any tag balancing is completed.
+
+ After this `initial processing` 'htmLawed()' identifies tags using regex and processes them with the help of 'hl_tag()' -- a large function that analyzes tag content, filtering it as per HTML standards, '$config' and '$spec'. Among other things, 'hl_tag()' transforms deprecated elements using 'hl_tag2()', removes attributes from closing tags, checks attribute values as per '$spec' rules using 'hl_attrval()', and checks URL protocols using 'hl_prot()'. 'htmLawed()' performs tag balancing and nesting checks with a call to 'hl_bal()', and optionally compacts/beautifies the output with proper white-spacing with a call to 'hl_tidy()'. The latter temporarily replaces white-space, and '<', '>' and '&' characters inside 'pre', 'script' and 'textarea' elements, and HTML comments and CDATA sections with control characters (code-points '1' to '5', and '7').
+
+ htmLawed permits the use of custom code or *hook functions* at two stages. The first, called inside 'htmLawed()', allows the input text as well as the finalized '$config' and '$spec' values to be altered right after the initial processing (see section:- #3.7). The second is called by 'hl_tag()' once the tag content is finalized (see section:- #3.4.9).
+
+ The functionality of htmLawed is dictated by the external HTML standard. It is thus coded for a clear-cut objective with not much concern for tweakability. The code is only minimally annotated with comments -- it is not meant to instruct; PHP developers familiar with the HTML specifications will see the logic, and others can always refer to the htmLawed documentation. The compact structuring of the statements is meant to aid a quick grasp of the logic.
