what does GlideStringUtil.escapeHTML(); does?

[anurag92]

Some characters are not valid in Jelly HTML Script part . For eg"<" (you can try using this, and it will return and error). What escapeHTML does is, it converts invalid XML characters like "<" ,">","&" to its literal equivalent.

For eg:

var x = "<b>&TEST</b>";

gs.log(GlideStringUtil.escapeHTML(x));

Output:

&lt;b&gt;&amp;TEST&lt;/b&gt;

It removes the HTML tags if any field contains them

example-

if short_description contains- <b>test</b> then the function below will return only test.

GlideStringUtil.escapeHTML(gr.short_description);
