TOHTML()

Syntax:

Then: xx = TOHTML(yy)

Version Ref:  4.8 (not included in filePro Lite)

Description:

TOHTML() converts special HTML characters '<', '>', '"', and '&' to their HTML equivalents: &lt; &gt; &quot; &amp;
This permits you to include these characters within the text of an HTML document.

Example:

You want to display e-mail addresses. If you had:

addr = "Bill Randall < wrandall@fileproplus.com >"
...
HTML :TX addr

the e-mail address would not appear, as it would be interpreted as an HTML
tag. You would need to do:

addr = "Bill Randall < wrandall@fileproplus.com >"
...
HTML :TX TOHTML(addr)

which would generate:

Bill Randall &lt; wrandall@fileproplus.com&gt ;

This would be interpreted and displayed as expected.
(The function can be used anywhere in processing that an expression can be
used, not just in the HTML command itself.)
