ad_text_to_html (public)

 ad_text_to_html [ -no_links ] [ -no_lines ] [ -no_quote ] \
    [ -includes_html ] [ -encode ] text

Defined in packages/acs-tcl/tcl/text-html-procs.tcl

Converts plaintext to html. Also translates any recognized email addresses or URLs into a hyperlink.

Switches:

-no_links (optional, boolean)

will prevent it from highlighting

-no_lines (optional, boolean)

-no_quote (optional, boolean)

will prevent it from HTML-quoting output, so this can be run on semi-HTML input and preserve that formatting. This will also cause spaces/tabs to not be replaced with nbsp's, because this can too easily mess up HTML tags.

-includes_html (optional, boolean)

Set this if the text parameter already contains some HTML which should be preserved.

-encode (optional, boolean)

This will encode international characters into its html equivalent, like "ü" into ü

Parameters:

text (required)
