SYNOPSIS

use HTML::Entities::Numbered;

$html = Hi Honey♥;

# convert named HTML entities to numbered (decimal)
$decimal = name2decimal($html); # Hi Honey♥

# to numbered (hexadecimal)
$hex = name2hex($html); # Hi Honey♥

$content = Copyright © Larry Wall;

# convert numbered HTML entities (decimal) to named
$name1 = decimal2name($content); # Copyright © Larry Wall

$content = Copyright © Larry Wall;
# convert numbered HTML entitites (hexadecimal) to named
$name2 = hex2name($content); # Copyright © Larry Wall

$xml = "Give me ¥10,000" > cherie♠;

# convert named HTML entities to numbered
# except valid XML entities (decimal)
$decimal = name2decimal_xml($xml); # "Give me ¥10,000"
# > cherie♠

# to numbered except valid XML entities (hexdecimal)
$hex = name2hex_xml($xml); # "Give me ¥10,000"
# > cherie♠

HTML::Entities::Numbered is a content conversion filter for named HTML entities (symbols, mathmetical symbols, Greek letters, Latin letters, etc.). When an argument of name2decimal() or name2hex() contains some nameable HTML entities, they will be replaced to numbered HTML entities. And when an argument of name2decimal_xml() or name2hex_xml() contains some nameable numbered HTML entities, they will be replaced to numbered HTML entities except valid XML entities (the excepted "valid XML entities" are the following five entities: <, >, &, ", &apos;). By the same token, when an argument of decimal2name() or hex2name() contains some nameable numbered HTML entities, they will be replaced to named HTML entities.

(the exception "valid XML entities" means the following five entities: <, >, &, ", &apos;)
