When run with the `--sanitize` switch, which is turned on by default (see [[usage]]), ikiwiki sanitizes the html on pages it renders to avoid XSS attacks and the like. ikiwiki excludes all html tags and attributes except for those that are whitelisted using the same lists as used by Mark Pilgrim's Universal Feed Parser, documented at . Notably it strips `style`, `link`, and the `style` attribute. ikiwiki uses the HTML::Scrubber perl module to perform its html sanitisation, and this perl module also deals with various entity encoding tricks. While I believe that this makes ikiwiki as resistant to malicious html content as anything else on the web, I cannot guarantee that it will actually protect every user of every browser from every browser security hole, badly designed feature, etc. I can provide NO WARRANTY, like it says in ikiwiki's [GPL](GPL) license. The web's security model is *fundamentally broken*; ikiwiki's html sanitisation is only a patch on the underlying gaping hole that is your web browser. ---- Some examples of embedded javascript that won't be let through. * test * test * test
