in reply to HTML::Scrubber - Perl extension for scrubbing/sanitizing html

To add to the mess ... I have my own HTML filtering module HTML::JFilter. I considered uploading it to CPAN, but found HTML::TagFilter and wasn't sure I should do so then. The biggest difference of HTML::JFilter and these other two is that the HTML::JFilter is supposed to get the list of tags&attributes to allow as a single, easy to edit string. I need that so that the admins of our system are able to modify the filtering of different fields. (The system is used to distribute job offers to different sites, each site may allow different subset of HTML.)

I wanted to look at the code in HTML::TagFilter to see whether it would be viable to merge it with HTML::JFilter, but did not have time to do that yet.

    Not bad. I like the spec idea, and think the HTML::TagFilter dude would like it as well. You could also easily subclass HTML::Scrubber and re-create HTML::JFilter.

    That reminds me, I forgot to add 

    marked_sections => 1 
attr_encoded    => 1
