    # = Action View Text \Helpers
    #
    # The TextHelper module provides a set of methods for filtering, formatting
    # and transforming strings, which can reduce the amount of inline Ruby code in
    # your views. These helper methods extend Action View making them callable
    # within your template files.
    #
    # ==== Sanitization
    #
    # Most text helpers that generate HTML output sanitize the given input by default,
    # but do not escape it. This means HTML tags will appear in the page but all malicious
    # code will be removed. Let's look at some examples using the +simple_format+ method:
    #
    #   simple_format('<a href="http://example.com/">Example</a>')
    #   # => "<p><a href=\"http://example.com/\">Example</a></p>"
    #
    #   simple_format('<a href="javascript:alert(\'no!\')">Example</a>')
    #   # => "<p><a>Example</a></p>"
    #
    # If you want to escape all content, you should invoke the +h+ method before
    # calling the text helper.
    #
    #   simple_format h('<a href="http://example.com/">Example</a>')
    #   # => "<p>&lt;a href=\"http://example.com/\"&gt;Example&lt;/a&gt;</p>"
    module TextHelper
      extend ActiveSupport::Concern

      include SanitizeHelper
      include TagHelper
      include OutputSafetyHelper

      # The preferred method of outputting text in your views is to use the
      # <tt><%= "text" %></tt> eRuby syntax. The regular +puts+ and +print+ methods
      # do not operate as expected in an eRuby code block. If you absolutely must
      # output text within a non-output code block (i.e., <tt><% %></tt>), you
      # can use the +concat+ method.
      #
      #   <% concat "hello" %> is equivalent to <%= "hello" %>
      #
      #   <%
      #      unless signed_in?
      #        concat link_to("Sign In", action: :sign_in)
      #      end
      #   %>
      #
      #   is equivalent to
      #
      #   <% unless signed_in? %>
      #     <%= link_to "Sign In", action: :sign_in %>
      #   <% end %>
      #

      # Truncates +text+ if it is longer than a specified +:length+. If +text+
      # is truncated, an omission marker will be appended to the result for a
      # total length not exceeding +:length+.
      #
      # You can also pass a block to render and append extra content after the
      # omission marker when +text+ is truncated. However, this content _can_
      # cause the total length to exceed +:length+ characters.
      #
      # The result will be escaped unless <tt>escape: false</tt> is specified.
      # In any case, the result will be marked HTML-safe. Care should be taken
      # if +text+ might contain HTML tags or entities, because truncation could
      # produce invalid HTML, such as unbalanced or incomplete tags.
      #
      # ==== Options
      #
      # [+:length+]
      #   The maximum number of characters that should be returned, excluding
      #   any extra content from the block. Defaults to 30.
      #
      # [+:omission+]
      #   The string to append after truncating. Defaults to  <tt>"..."</tt>.
      #
      # [+:separator+]
      #   A string or regexp used to find a breaking point at which to truncate.
      #   By default, truncation can occur at any character in +text+.
      #
      # [+:escape+]
      #   Whether to escape the result. Defaults to true.
      #
      # ==== Examples
      #
      #   truncate("Once upon a time in a world far far away")
      #   # => "Once upon a time in a world..."
      #
      #   truncate("Once upon a time in a world far far away", length: 17)
      #   # => "Once upon a ti..."
      #
      #   truncate("Once upon a time in a world far far away", length: 17, separator: ' ')
      #   # => "Once upon a..."
      #
      #   truncate("And they found that many people were sleeping better.", length: 25, omission: '... (continued)')
      #   # => "And they f... (continued)"
      #
      #   truncate("<p>Once upon a time in a world far far away</p>")
      #   # => "&lt;p&gt;Once upon a time in a wo..."
      #
      #   truncate("<p>Once upon a time in a world far far away</p>", escape: false)
      #   # => "<p>Once upon a time in a wo..."
      #
      #   truncate("Once upon a time in a world far far away") { link_to "Continue", "#" }

      # Highlights occurrences of +phrases+ in +text+ by formatting them with a
      # highlighter string. +phrases+ can be one or more strings or regular
      # expressions. The result will be marked HTML safe. By default, +text+ is
      # sanitized before highlighting to prevent possible XSS attacks.
      #
      # If a block is specified, it will be used instead of the highlighter
      # string. Each occurrence of a phrase will be passed to the block, and its
      # return value will be inserted into the final result.
      #
      # ==== Options
      #
      # [+:highlighter+]
      #   The highlighter string. Uses <tt>\1</tt> as the placeholder for a
      #   phrase, similar to +String#sub+. Defaults to <tt>"<mark>\1</mark>"</tt>.
      #   This option is ignored if a block is specified.
      #
      # [+:sanitize+]
      #   Whether to sanitize +text+ before highlighting. Defaults to true.

      # ==== Examples
      #

      #
