WYSIWYG - What You See Is What You Get

HTML Purifier: A Pretty Good Fit for TinyMCE and FCKeditor
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Javascript-based WYSIWYG editors, simply stated, are quite amazing. But I've
|
||
|
|
always been wary about using them due to security issues: they handle the
|
||
|
|
client-side magic, but once you've been served a piping hot load of unfiltered
|
||
|
|
HTML, what should be done then? In some situations, you can serve it uncleaned,
|
||
|
|
since you only offer these facilities to trusted(?) authors.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Unfortunantely, for blog comments and anonymous input, BBCode, Textile and
|
||
|
|
other markup languages still reign supreme. Put simply: filtering HTML is
|
||
|
|
hard work, and these WYSIWYG authors don't offer anything to alleviate that
|
||
|
|
trouble. Therein lies the solution:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
HTML Purifier is perfect for filtering pure-HTML input from WYSIWYG editors.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Enough said.
