Parent package: Foswiki::Serialise
Child packages:

    ClassMethod new( $class, ) → $cereal

    StaticMethod dataEncode( $uncoded ) → $coded

    Encode meta-data field values, escaping out selected characters. The encoding is chosen to avoid problems with parsing the attribute values in embedded meta-data, while minimising the number of characters encoded so searches can still work (fairly) sensibly.

    The encoding has to be exported because Foswiki (and plugins) use encoded field data in other places e.g. RDiff, mainly as a shorthand for the properly parsed meta object. Some day we may be able to eliminate that....
