Antixss GetSafeHtmlFragment encode & as &

Question

0.00/5 (No votes)

See more:

public static string SanitizeHtml(this string s)
{
return AntiXss.GetSafeHtmlFragment(s);
}

However, if I pass in a string like this:

black & white

it is encoding the ampersand so it becomes:

black & white

Is there a way of preventing it from encoding this character?

Why should you...Sanitizing HTML means exactly that...Encode special characters (that can create problems for non-HTML layers in your application) in a way that HTML rendering still will understand, but others will not confused by...
&apm; is something called entity and used widely to ensure correct display of special characters inside HTML without passing those special characters and - maybe - cause troubles...
For instance if you add code block, here at CP, to your question it may contain HTML special characters so the text have to be encoded to ensure correct display...The same way, to prevent XSS attack the content encoded...Why should you not to do that?
