HTML for database input - when it's needed
Here are the usual exceptions:
Links or anchors
<a href='http://www.ucl.ac.uk/rest-of-url'>link text here, sometimes it's the url again</a>
*Watch out for missing a quote in the href attribute, there should always be two!
**Make sure to close the first tag ">"
***Close the anchor with </a>
Missing any of these leads to some interesting results....
Email links
<a href='mailto:my-email@ucl.ac.uk'>my-email@ucl.ac.uk</a>
*Use "mailto:"
Break lines
<br>
*We are now cleaning all other variations like <br /> into <br>
Unordered lists
<ul>
<li>First item</li>
<li>Second item</li>
</ul>
* Start and end the list with an opening <ul> and closing</ul> pair.
**Each list item must be enclosed with the <li></li> pair.
Missing either leads to a list catastrophe!!!
