HTML Attribute Content

HTML Attribute Content takes a string and preps it for use inside HTML tag attributes. You might find this handy when using content inside attributes of certain tags, like <meta> tags used by Twitter Cards.

Usage

{exp:html_attribute_content}

Note: If your tagdata contains an ExpressionEngine typography code-syntax highlighted codeblock, it will be stripped in its entirety, since it cannot be summarized.

Example Usage

It strips tags, turns single and double quotes into entities, then optionally limits to a fixed number of characters (retaining whole words), and appends a terminating character.

{exp:html_attribute_content limit='200' end_char='…'}
	content to make safe for use in a tag parameter
{/exp:html_attribute_content}

Parameters

limit (optional)

limit='200'

The number of characters to limit the output to (keeps whole words).

double_encode (optional, default='yes')

double_encode='no'

yes/no. Whether or not to double-encode character entities.

end_char (optional)

end_char='…'

A terminating character (or characters) to append to the string. The limit parameter takes this into consideration, so your final string will still be within the bounds of your specified limit.
