[Exist-open] escaping function for html attributes

[Emmanuelle Morlock]

Dear list,

is there a function that converts a string in something usable in a html attribute? I’m trying to put some tei transformed node in a html template using a bootstrap popover. As I have square brackets in my string (e.g.. dolor sit a[me]t), I need to pass it to an attribute of the element that is animate with javascript


thanks
Emmanuelle

Hi Emmanuelle,

Could you please be a little more specific about what you mean by
"something usable in a html attribute"?

Hi Emmanuelle,

Ah, I see. We're you able to find a solution to replacing the pair of
square brackets with a span tag? Or do you still need suggestions for how
to do that?

Thanks Joe !
actually I didn’t tested enough. It’s not the the html attribute (a
'data-original-title' on a button element) per se.
the pb came from the fact that the variable I wanted to pass to the
‘data-original-title’ contained span tags and not the brackets
dolor sit a<span class=’something’>met</span> instead of sit a[me]t)

Best
