Re: quoting pains

That was my point with the libraries, There are libraries available for
most languages (I think Perl has one) with methods that will take an
arbitrary input string, and return the same string HTML escaped.
Something like this (obviously non-Perl) example should be available:
String HTMLString = escapeStringForHTML(SQLString);

That provides a solution you can use anytime you need to output complex
strings in HTML, not just this one time.
