HTMLEncode

This method converts a string to an HTML-encoded string, i. e. when embedded in a block of text the characters < and > are encoded as &lt and &gt. It will support you in constructing the standard output format of SendToMessage which will be used for an Caseware Standard Import Routine.

The method receives a string as a parameter and returns the html-encoded string.
