In reply to HTML-Enabling Extra?, posted by IsoM on February 18, 2002, at 15:12:25
Enabling raw HTML would not be a good idea (for security reasons, mostly (also, someone could link to an exceptionally large image, sound, video, etc. -- most people know how to "stop" the connection, but it would be annoying nonetheless)), but it's possible to allow only certain codes (or limits). Another possibility is to write a mini language in something like lex (if you're not familiar with lex, perl probably has something similar), something easy that could be used by someone who isn't familiar with HTML.
