public class HtmlEncoder

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");
