LSL lacks functions for HTML entity handling
Bavid Dailey
LSL badly needs functions along the lines of
string llHTMLEncode(string txt)
string llHTMLDecode(string txt)
which handles HTML enties such as
& -> &
> -> >r;
etc
to handle all 8 bit characters. It seems the functions exists as part of the JSON implementation.
This is a really serious lack if you're trying to serve web pages in SL.

Entities can be int numbered, hex numbered or named, with a lib of over 2k names.
Python has an encode/decode lib function for handling them.
I'm sure all major languages do.
LSL would benefit as LL's own websites and World API's use them.
