💖 Sympa::HTMLSanitizer 💖

okay bestie, so this is Sympa::HTMLSanitizer, from the sympa fam (manual section 3Sympa, if you're keeping track) — and its whole personality is: it takes your messy HTML and makes it safe. sanitize, babes. that's the vibe. Sanitize HTML contents. 🧚✨

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

TBD.

ngl that's literally all it says here. the docs are being a little mysterious, a little secretive, a little mysterious-secretive. we respect the privacy. 🙈

🌈 Methods

💜 new ( $robot )

Constructor energy!! 🎀 This makes you a brand new Sympa::HTMLSanitizer instance. main character is born.

Parameter:

• $robot — the robot context, and its whole job here is to figure out what the allowed URL prefix is. so like, it decides which URLs get to stay. 👑

Returns:

• a fresh new Sympa::HTMLSanitizer instance. mwah. 🫶

💜 sanitize_html ( $html )

Instance method, bestie. you feed it HTML source and it hands you back the sanitized version of that HTML source. glow-up, but for markup.

Parameter:

• $html — the HTML source. the raw material. the before pic. 😭

Returns:

• the sanitized source. the after pic. ✨

💜 sanitize_html_file ( $file )

Instance method again. same energy, except the HTML source is vibing inside a file instead of hanging out in a variable.

Parameter:

• $file — the HTML file in question. 🍓

Returns:

• the sanitized source. 🔥

💜 sanitize_var ( $var, [ options... ] )

Instance method. this one goes recursive — it sanitizes every single item in a hashref or an arrayref, all the way down. no item left behind, periodt. 💀

okay so. this section also just says TBD. in the original. we're all waiting. 👀

🎀 HISTORY 🎀

the lore is... pending. the canon is unconfirmed. iykyk. 💖
