HTML Safe Edit

[Fairlight]

There is no way to create such a creature in an edit.

1) You'd need to ensure your input size was no greater than 32767 bytes.

2) Assuming it was, you need to evaluate the -context- of characters.  A
single quote on its own has an entirely different meaning depending upon
whether or not it's inside or outside doublequotes.

3) You can't universally apply a sane edit to & because the contents can be
hex values -or- special words, and edits don't have the logic necessary to
sanely tell which type of values are following the first character.

filePro isn't even the right tool for this.  The subset of edits is
even less so.  You're far better off with a language which has a lot of
high-level string manipulation tools built in Ä preferably one supporting
PCRE.
