I'm generating some simple HTML with PowerShell script, and I would like to escape strings used in result HTML (since they can contain some HTML-specific symbols).
For example:
$a = "something <somthing else>";
should be converted to the following:
"something <something else>"
Is there any built-in function for that?
There's a class that will do this in System.Web.
Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Web
[System.Web.HttpUtility]::HtmlEncode('something <somthing else>')
You can even go the other way:
[System.Web.HttpUtility]::HtmlDecode('something <something else>')
