[Ur] CMS like features ? unsafe XML - encodings?

[Marc Weber]

Many web applications are using kind of

  xml += "<div>#{xml_content_from_db}</div>";

which of course is unsafe. Which is the urweb way?
Is there a blessXml function ?

How can you render unsafe xml in a page?

I had a look at the only listed application on the wiki:
https://github.com/gian/urblog

But it seems to be using kind of markup. Neither does it compile.
Something broke it. Last change was in 2009.

Which is the urweb way storing xml in a database and including it into a
page?

If we are at it: Does it make sense to encode the encoding of a string
somehow?

Eg Ruby 1.9 fixed the encoding hell by disallowing concatenating
different encodings etc - of course nothing is typed statically.

You do something liket this:
  "string".force_encoding("UTF-8").encode("ISO-8859-1")

which means "assume its UTF-8, then encode as ISO-.."


Encoding and xml validation has one in common: maybe invalid code may be
taken out of a database - and ur should be able to use it and pass it
over to the user.
