SID-00602: fragile HTML tag stripping in AliasPlugin

Status:	Unanswered	TWiki version:	4.3.1	Perl version:

First thanks for this great plugin!

However, I fear the HTML tag stripping is too agressive. Consider for example

if a < b then write "lesser and TESTALIAS" elseif a > b then write "not equal"

Also it is not possible to create an working alias that does this:

%ALIAS{name="<--" value="&larr;"}%

How about using HTML::Parser instead the simpel (but problematic) regex (line 348 in AliasPlugin.pm) to get a much more robust solution?

I used AliasPlugin release 2.31 (revision 16746 from 12 Dec 2008)
