Disallowed Raw HTML Extension
(Note: this extension is included by default within the GFM extension)
The DisallowedRawHtmlExtension
automatically filters certain HTML tags when rendering output, such as:
<title>
<textarea>
<style>
<xmp>
<iframe>
<noembed>
<noframes>
<script>
<plaintext>
Filtering is done by replacing the leading <
with the entity <
.
This is required by the GFM spec because these particular tags could cause undesirable side-effects if a malicious user tries to introduce them.
All other HTML tags are left untouched by this extension.
Installation
