p3k-html-sanitizer
==================

[](#p3k-html-sanitizer)

An HTML sanitizer with good defaults usable for displaying untrusted HTML in applications.

Allows only a basic set of formatting tags, removing all `` tags. Removes all attributes of allowed tags except leaves in Microformats 2 classes.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

```
composer require p3k/html-sanitizer

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

```
$output = p3k\HTML::sanitize($input);

```

### Options

[](#options)

There are a minimal number of options you can pass to the sanitize function:

```
$options = [
  'baseURL' => 'https://example.com/'
];

$output = p3k\HTML::sanitize($input, $options);

```

- `baseURL` - (default `false`)
- `allowImg` - (`true`/`false`, default `true`) - whether to allow `img` tags in the output
- `allowMf2` - (`true`/`false`, default `true`) - whether to allow Microformats 2 classes on elements
- `allowTables` - (`true`/`false`, default `false`) - whether to allow table elements (`table`, `thead`, `tbody`, `tr`, `td`)

Allowed Tags
------------

[](#allowed-tags)

The following HTML tags are the only tags allowed in the input. Everything else will be removed.

- `a`
- `abbr`
- `b`
- `br`
- `code`
- `del`
- `em`
- `i`
- `q`
- `strike`
- `strong`
- `time`
- `blockquote`
- `pre`
- `p`
- `h1`
- `h2`
- `h3`
- `h4`
- `h5`
- `h6`
- `ul`
- `li`
- `ol`
- `span`
- `hr`
- `img` - only if `$options['allowImg']` is `true`
- `table`, `thead`, `tbody`, `tfoot`, `tr`, `th`, `td` - only if `$options['allowTables']` is `true`

All attributes other than those below will be removed.

- `` - `href`
- `` - `src width height alt`
- `` - `datetime`

If `$options['allowMf2']` is `true`, class attributes will be removed, except for Microformats 2 class values.

For example:

`Hello`

will become

`Hello`
