uni2ascii 4.5 (Default branch)

Image uni2ascii and ascii2uni convert between UTF-8 Unicode and 29 7-bit ASCII equivalents including: hexadecimal and decimal HTML and SGML numeric character references, \u-escapes, standard hexadecimal, raw hexadecimal, and RFC2396 URI format. Such ASCII equivalents are useful for entering Unicode in program source or in programs that are not 8-bit safe, and for testing and debugging. Several options allow Unicode to be converted to approximately equivalent ASCII, e.g. by stripping diacritics. An optional GUI is provided. License: GNU General Public License v3 Changes:
Microsoft-style HTML entities lacking the final semi-colon are now passed on by default rather than converted by ascii2uni. The new -m flag causes them to be converted. Error messages and warnings from ascii2uni now include the line number.Image

NAME
HTML::Entities::Numbered - Conversion of numbered HTML entities SYNOPSIS
use HTML::Entities::Numbered; $html = 'Hi Honey<b>&hearts;</b>'; # convert named HTML entities to numbered (decimal) $decimal = name2decimal($html); # Hi Honey<b>&#9829;</b> # to numbered (hexadecimal) $hex = name2hex($html); # Hi Honey<b>&#x2665;</b> $content = 'Copyright &#169; Larry Wall'; # convert numbered HTML entities (decimal) to named $name1 = decimal2name($content); # Copyright &copy; Larry Wall $content = 'Copyright &#xA9; Larry Wall'; # convert numbered HTML entitites (hexadecimal) to named $name2 = hex2name($content); # Copyright &copy; Larry Wall $xml = '&quot;Give me &yen;10,000&quot; &gt; cherie&spades;'; # convert named HTML entities to numbered # except valid XML entities (decimal) $decimal = name2decimal_xml($xml); # &quot;Give me &#165;10,000&quot; # &gt; cherie&#9824; # to numbered except valid XML entities (hexdecimal) $hex = name2hex_xml($xml); # &quot;Give me &#xA5;10,000&quot; # &gt; cherie&#x2660; DESCRIPTION
HTML::Entities::Numbered is a content conversion filter for named HTML entities (symbols, mathmetical symbols, Greek letters, Latin let- ters, etc.). When an argument of "name2decimal()" or "name2hex()" contains some nameable HTML entities, they will be replaced to numbered HTML entities. And when an argument of "name2decimal_xml()" or "name2hex_xml()" contains some nameable numbered HTML entities, they will be replaced to numbered HTML entities except valid XML entities (the excepted "valid XML entities" are the following five entities: "&lt;", "&gt;", "&amp;", "&quot;", "&apos;"). By the same token, when an argument of "decimal2name()" or "hex2name()" contains some nameable num- bered HTML entities, they will be replaced to named HTML entities. (the exception "valid XML entities" means the following five entities: "&lt;", "&gt;", "&amp;", "&quot;", "&apos;") On version 0.03, the entities hash table is imported from HTML::Entities (with obsolete class "HTML::Entities::Numbered::Extra" for older releases of Perl). At the moment, 0.04 (or later) is included HTML::Entities::Numbered::Table to import HTML entities table, and thereby we do not need to have HTML::Entities (included in HTML::Parser distribution). This may be also useful for making valid XML (corrects the undefined entity references, and enhanced by addition of functions conform to the XML). FUNCTIONS
Following all functions are exported by default. * name2decimal Some included named HTML entities in argument of "name2decimal()" will be replaced to decimal numbered HTML entities. * name2hex Some included named HTML entities in argument of "name2hex()" will be replaced to hexadecimal numbered HTML entities. * decimal2name Some include decimal numbered HTML entities in argument of "decimal2name()" will be replaced to named HTML entities (If they're name- able). * hex2name Some include hexadecimal numbered HTML entities in argument of "hex2name()" will be replaced to named HTML entities (If they're name- able). * name2decimal_xml Some included named HTML entities in argument of "name2decimal_xml()" will be replaced to decimal numbered HTML entities except valid XML entities. * name2hex_xml Some included named HTML entities in argument of "name2hex_xml()" will be replaced to hexadecimal numbered HTML entities except valid XML entities. If you'd prefer not to import them functions into the caller's namespace, you can call them as below: use HTML::Entities::Numbered (); $decimal = HTML::Entities::Numbered::name2decimal($str); $hex = HTML::Entities::Numbered::name2hex($str); $named1 = HTML::Entities::Numbered::decimal2name($str); $named2 = HTML::Entities::Numbered::hex2name($str); $decimal = HTML::Entities::Numbered::name2decimal_xml($str); $hex = HTML::Entities::Numbered::name2hex_xml($str); AUTHOR
