✨ GOLF(2gg) ✨

okay bestie, so this is a page from the GOLF manual — that's the Development section, iykyk 💅 — and today's main character is encode-web, which lives in the (web-encoding) family. let's get into it 🎀

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

encode-web — the web-encoding one (web-encoding)

🦋 PURPOSE 🦋

web (HTML)-encode a string. that's it. that's the whole job. she's simple, she's iconic 💖

✨ SYNTAX ✨

encode-web <string> to <encoded string> \
    [ input-length <length> ]

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so encode-web takes <string> and encodes it so it's safe to drop into HTML-ish markup text — think a web page, or an XML/XHTML document — and then it stashes the glow-up in <encoded string>. no cap ✨

and listen, if you only wanna encode the first bit? you can. just pass the input-length clause with <length>, and only the first <length> bytes get encoded. short king energy, but make it encoding 🌈

🍓 EXAMPLES 🍓

ok so here's the vibe: we've got a string in the variable str, we web-encode it, and the result lands in result 🫶

set-string str="  x<y>z&\"'  "
encode-web str to result

and result comes out as:

   x<y>z&"'

see how every little spicy character got tamed?? <, >, &, ", ' — she ate and left no crumbs 👑🔥
