HtmlHelpers 1.1.1 ================= This plugin lets you encode and decode (UTF-8) strings using HTML entities. Two new methods will be automatically available in your views: * encode_entities: Encodes a string into a string with HTML entities: >> <%= encode_entities("Über geek") %> => "Über geek" * decode_entities: Decodes a string with HTML entities into a string: >> <%= decode_entities("Über geek") %> => "Über geek" What's new in 1.1 ================= Now it's possible to include the helpers in other classes easily by just including Leftbee::HTMLHelpers in your class. If you *really* need to to use the helpers in a model you can do it like this: class Person < ActiveRecord::Base include Leftbee::HTMLHelpers end or a controller: class PersonController < ApplicationController include Leftbee::HTMLHelpers end etc. Note: Don't feed the helpers with anything else but UTF-8. If you really need to, convert your string to UTF-8 first using Iconv (http://www.ruby-doc.org/stdlib/libdoc/iconv/rdoc/index.html) A basic test unit is included.
