# ns\_hrefs(3aolserver)

commands

## NAME

ns\_hrefs, ns\_quotehtml, ns\_striphtml - commands

## SYNOPSIS

**ns\_hrefs** *html*
 **ns\_quotehtml** *html*
 **ns\_striphtml** *html*

## DESCRIPTION

**ns\_hrefs** returns a list of all the URLs that the *html* has
 \<A\> links to.  There is currently no provision for normalizing any
 relative URL with a specified \<BASE\> URL.  Also, for a URL to be
 returned the HREF attribute must come before any other attributes
 (such as TITLE, STYLE, etc.) within the opening \<A\> tag.

**ns\_quotehtml** substitutes all instances of "\<", "\>", and "&"
 within *html* with their respective HTML entities ("&lt;",
 "&gt;", and "&amp;" respectively).  This command is useful
 if you want to include *html* in another page as plain text.

**ns\_striphtml** returns a new string that is *html* with
 all the HTML tags removed.  HTML entities are left untouched.
