# Mason::Plugin::HTMLFilters(3pm)

Filters related to HTML generation

## NAME

Mason::Plugin::HTMLFilters - Filters related to HTML generation

## FILTERS

- HTML or H

  Do a basic HTML escape on the content - just the characters '&', '\>', '\<', and '"'.

  ```
      <input name="company" value="<% $company | H %>">
  ```

- HTMLEntities

  Do a comprehensive HTML escape on the content, using HTML::Entities::encode\_entities.

- URI or U

  URI-escape the content.

  ```
      <a href="<% $url | U %>">
  ```

- HTMLPara

  Formats a block of text into HTML paragraphs.  A sequence of two or more newlines is used as the delimiter for paragraphs which are then wrapped in HTML ""\<p\>""...""\</p\>"" tags. Taken from Template::Toolkit. e.g.

  ```
      % $.HTMLPara {{
      First paragraph.

      Second paragraph.
      % }}
  ```

  outputs:

  ```
      <p>
      First paragraph.
      </p>

      <p>
      Second paragraph.
      </p>
  ```

- HTMLParaBreak

  Similar to HTMLPara above, but uses the HTML tag sequence "\<br\>\<br\>" to join paragraphs. Taken from Template::Toolkit. e.g.

  ```
      % $.HTMLPara {{
      First paragraph.

      Second paragraph.
      % }}
  ```

  outputs:

  ```
      First paragraph.
      <br><br>
      Second paragraph.
  ```

- FillInForm ($form\_data, %options)

  Uses HTML::FillInForm to fill in the form with the specified *$form\_data* and *%options*.

  ```
      % $.FillInForm($form_data, target => 'form1') {{
      ...
      <form name='form1'>
      ...
      % }}
  ```
