HTML Encoder in Pasteboard
Before posting more, I needed an html encoder in Pasteboard to change <,>,&,… into <,>&… before pasting into in <pre>code-here</pre>.
I copy text/code into Pasteboard by cmd+c, run the program and cmd+v to paste the encoded string.
AppDelegate.m
- (void)applicationDidFinishLaunching:(NSNotification *)aNotification { NSPasteboard* pasteBoard = [NSPasteboard generalPasteboard]; // get string from the pasteboard NSString* copiedString = [pasteBoard stringForType:NSPasteboardTypeString]; // html encode NSString* encodedString = [NSString HtmlEncode:copiedString]; // copy it into the pasteboard [pasteBoard declareTypes:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:NSStringPboardType, nil] owner:nil]; [pasteBoard setString:encodedString forType:NSStringPboardType]; // quit the app [[NSApplication sharedApplication] terminate:self]; }
NSString+HTML.h/.m
#import <Foundation/Foundation.h> @interface NSString (HTML) + (NSString*)HtmlEncode:(NSString*)htmlString; @end #import "NSString+HTML.h" @implementation NSString (HTML) + (NSString*)HtmlEncode:(NSString*)htmlString { htmlString = [htmlString stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@"&" withString:@"&"]; htmlString = [htmlString stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@"<" withString:@"<"]; htmlString = [htmlString stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@">" withString:@">"]; htmlString = [htmlString stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@"""" withString:@"""]; htmlString = [htmlString stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@"'" withString:@"'"]; return htmlString; } @end
