Yachtman,
Check out http://www.ruby-doc.org/core-1.9/classes/CGI.html#M000527
(It worked with 2.2 also)
>> ugly = CGI::escapeHTML('<BR><A HREF="url"></A>')
=> "<BR><A HREF="url"></A>"
>> print CGI::unescapeElement(ugly, "A", "IMG")
<BR><A HREF="url"></A>=> nil
>> print CGI::unescapeElement(ugly, "A", "IMG", "BR")
<BR><A HREF="url"></A>=> nil
There might be a higher level function too, but this shows you how you
might use this directly
