      # This +sanitize+ helper will html encode all tags and strip all attributes that aren't specifically allowed.
      # It also strips href/src tags with invalid protocols, like javascript: especially.  It does its best to counter any
      # tricks that hackers may use, like throwing in unicode/ascii/hex values to get past the javascript: filters.  Check out
      # the extensive test suite.

      # You can add or remove tags/attributes if you want to customize it a bit.  See ActionView::Base for full docs on the
      # available options.  You can add tags/attributes for single uses of +sanitize+ by passing either the <tt>:attributes</tt> or <tt>:tags</tt> options:
      #
      # Normal Use
      #
      #   <%= sanitize @article.body %>

      # Custom Use (only the mentioned tags and attributes are allowed, nothing else)
      #
      #   <%= sanitize @article.body, :tags => %w(table tr td), :attributes => %w(id class style)
      # 
      # Add table tags to the default allowed tags
      #

      # confuse browsers.
