Greetings Monks,

Recently I have been tasked with modifying my custom module to output "clean html", given the following html snippet:

<B>TEXT</B><BR>Foo & BAR
[download]

has to be formatted thusly:

<B>TEXT</B><BR>FOO &amp; BAR
[download]

basically, I need to convert the "text" to their html entity, at the same time retaining the html tags. I have looked at few modules on CPAN, namely:

I liked the HTML::Tidy, except for the fact, that it required libtidy, and I might not be able to package libtidy as part of the release.

Regards to HTML::Lint, the documentation does not give any methods to access the cleaned html chunk.

Do you know of any "all perl" html tidy like module ?

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
