Rails helper to XHTML-ize chunks of user submitted HTML. For the standardista in all of us.
html = "<div><p>foo</p><a href='http://foo.com'>foo" => "<div><p>foo</p><a href='http://foo.com'>foo" xhtmlize(html) => "<div><p>foo</p><a href="http://foo.com\">foo</a></div>"
Also comes with an ActiveRecord class method to automatically xhtmlize attributes in an after_save callback.
class Comment < ActiveRecord::Base xhtmlize :title, :content end
