=====================================
NAME
HTML::Entities::Numbered - Conversion of numbered HTML entities
SYNOPSIS
use HTML::Entities::Numbered;
$html = 'Hi Honey♥';
# convert named HTML entities to numbered (decimal)
$decimal = name2decimal($html); # Hi Honey♥
# to numbered (hexadecimal)
$hex = name2hex($html); # Hi Honey♥
$content = 'Copyright © Larry Wall';
# convert numbered HTML entities (decimal) to named
$name1 = decimal2name($content); # Copyright © Larry Wall
$content = 'Copyright © Larry Wall';
# convert numbered HTML entitites (hexadecimal) to named
$name2 = hex2name($content); # Copyright © Larry Wall
DESCRIPTION
HTML::Entities::Numbered is a subclass of HTML::Entities. It is a
content conversion filter for named HTML entities (symbols, mathmetical
symbols, Greek letters, Latin letters, etc.). When an argument of
"name2decimal()" or "name2hex()" contains some nameable HTML entities,
they will be replaced to numbered HTML entities. By the same token, when
an argument of "decimal2name()" or "hex2name()" contains some nameable
numbered HTML entities, they will be replaced to named HTML entities.
The entities hash table is imported from HTML::Entities. However, this
module doesn't work correctly for earlier releases of Perl 5.7.0. If
this module is used with the older, it will be exported extra hash table
from HTML::Entities::Numbered::Extra for conversion correctness.
This may be also useful for making XML (corrects the undefined entity
references).
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 "name2decimal()"
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
nameable).
* hex2name
Some include hexadecimal numbered HTML entities in argument of
"decimal2name()" will be replaced to named HTML entities (If they're
nameable).
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);
