emailobfuscator
===============

[](#emailobfuscator)

Widget to obfuscate an email address to help prevent harvesting by spam bots.

If JavaScript is disabled on the client, the widget will output either a message or an obfuscated version of the email address.

If JavaScript is enabled the output is replaced with (by default) a mailto link showing (again by default) the email address. The content of the mailto link can be customised.

For license information see the [LICENSE](LICENSE.md) file.
