horacio HTMLENCODE from Apex code
Hello, I am trying to escape a rich textArea field to be shown in a visualforce page.
Right now, it's escaped using {!HTMLENCODE()}.
What I am trying to do is to allow a set of HTML tags, but only in some cases.
What I am looking for, ideally, is a way to call the HTMLENCODE function from apex code most of the time, and then implement my own escaping method for the cases that allow some HTML tags. What I am trying to avoid is re-implementing HtmlEncode in my classes.
So, the question is : is there a way to access the HTMLENCODE visualforce function from Apex code? If not, is there a functionally equivalent alternative I can reuse?
Any help will be appreciated, thanks!

I believe what you're looking for is EncodingUtil.urlEncode().
I'm afraid that won't work, because I need to safely HTML encode the text, in order to show it in a page.
Anyhow, I ended up implementing my own HTMLEncode algorithm, dumb but safe, with the behaviour I needed.
Thanks for your help anyway!
In apex code you can do through string.replace(). In replace method the character is replaced by ASCII code.
Hope this helps.

Our port of the ESAPI provides Apex equivalents of JSENCODE, HTMLENCODE, JSINHTMLENCODE and URLENCODE functions.
usertext = ESAPI.encoder().SFDC_HTMLENCODE(unsafe_text);
