attributeEncode(data)
This function encodes all instances in data of the following to numeric HTML entities (e.g. like ' '):
- left angle bracket
- right angle bracket
- ampersand
- (straight) double quote
- (straight) apostrophe
- line feed character (ASCII #10). This assists with OPML work as paragraph breaks are not allowed within XML attribute values.
An older export code equivalent was ^opmlEncode()^; this is now deprecated in favour of the form ^value(attributeEncode(…))^.
