Hi, Does Boost have functions like htmlspecialchars and urlencode (from PHP)? If not, I think they'd make a nice addition to the string algorithm lib. -- Olaf

There is XML character decorator in Boost.Log. It is based on a common tool called pattern_replacer which can be used as a function (see https://github.com/boostorg/log/blob/master/include/boost/log/expressions/fo...). In Boost.StringAlgo there are a number of replace algorithms which can be used for this.

Does it do multiple passes over the input and update the string in-place? Doesn't look like a good idea.

Which one would be best? -- Olaf

htmlspecialchars is just replacing < with <, > with > and & with & (optionally " with " and ' with ' as well). It's a trivial application of the replace algorithm to the world of HTML and XML. I'm not sure the string algorithm lib is the right place for it, maybe an XML lib would be better.

Does Boost have a XML lib? I don't really mind in what lib such a function would be created. -- Olaf

This does not take DTDs into account.

Does Boost have a XML lib?
No (I do not count the XML parser in Boost.PropertyTree as an XML lib.) There was a Boost.XML project at GSoC last year about creating C++ wrappers for other XML libraries, such as libxml2, but I do not know its current status.
