util_convert_plaintext_to_html (public, deprecated)

 util_convert_plaintext_to_html raw_string

Defined in packages/acs-tcl/tcl/deprecated-procs.tcl

Deprecated. Invoking this procedure generates a warning.

Almost everything this proc does can be accomplished with the ad_text_to_html. Use that proc instead.

Only difference is that ad_text_to_html doesn't check to see if the plaintext might in fact be HTML already by mistake. But we usually don't want that anyway, because maybe the user wanted a <p> tag in his plaintext. We'd rather let the user change our opinion about the text, e.g. html_p = 't'.

Parameters:

raw_string (required)

Source code:

ad_log_deprecated proc util_convert_plaintext_to_html
    if { [regexp -nocase {<p>} $raw_string] || [regexp -nocase {<br>} $raw_string] } {
        # user was already trying to do this as HTML
        return $raw_string
    } else {
        return [ad_text_to_html -no_links -- $raw_string]
