What problem does it solve?

WordPress plugins and themes rely on HTML parsing and manipulation. Using regex, DOMDocument, or ad-hoc escaping can lead to broken markup and security risks. This skill provides safe server-side HTML inspection and mutation using WordPress' HTML API, guiding you to use WP_HTML_Tag_Processor and WP_HTML_Processor to modify HTML reliably and safely.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Safe attribute and class mutations via WP_HTML_Tag_Processor
  • Structural HTML handling and token serialization with WP_HTML_Processor
  • Correct data-* attribute handling and awareness of WP 6.9 escaping behavior
  • Suitable for plugin code that reads or modifies rendered HTML, shortcodes, content filters, widget markup, or emails

Quick Start

Process a snippet of HTML with WP_HTML_Tag_Processor to add a class to all links.
