Hi,
I need to send HTML emails directly from oracle PL/SQL package. This works almost fine.
I have problem with the fact that some of the data fetched from a table contain things like <S>, <L>, and similar fragments, which sometimes ar treated as HTML tags, and even if not, they are always ignored and never displayed.
So, I need to escape this column before inserting into email body.
Is there a function to escape html special chars into entities automaticly? Or do I need to replace('<','<',string) manually all the special characters?
I found a function to escape URLs but not one for HTML :(
Best regards, SWilk
