Class HtmlEncoder

    java.lang.Object
      com.lowagie.text.html.HtmlEncoder

    public final class HtmlEncoder

extends java.lang.Object

This class converts a `String` to the HTML-format of a String.

To convert the `String`, each character is examined:

- ASCII-characters from 000 till 031 are represented as &#xxx;
  (with xxx = the value of the character)
- ASCII-characters from 032 t/m 127 are represented by the character itself, except for:
  - '\n' becomes <BR>\n
  - " becomes &quot;
  - & becomes &amp;
  - < becomes &lt;
  - > becomes &gt;
- ASCII-characters from 128 till 255 are represented as &#xxx;
  (with xxx = the value of the character)

Example:

>         String htmlPresentation = HtmlEncoder.encode("Marie-Thérèse Sørensen");
