Tags to Skip Tab

The "Tags to Skip" tab is used to define pairs of tags that contain text that will be skipped during the encryption process; the interface is illustrated below.

Some HTML pages contain SSI (server side includes) tags. If these SSI tags are also encrypted, the web server will have no way to parse and execute the data before sending the page out. To fix this problem, add "<!--#, -->" tags pairs to the list so that HTMLProtector will skip the code in between these tags during the encryption process.

Other tag pairs like "<H1>, </H1>" or "<STRONG>,</STRONG>" may also be added so that a fully encrypted page will still have the ability to be indexed by search engine spiders.

To enable "Tag to Skip" during the encryption process, check off the "Skip following tags during encryption" box first. Also, you have the ability to add any other tags that you feel are necessary to skip. To do this, simply press the "Add" button and define both the starting and ending tags in the fields. If you need to edit a pair of existing tags, simply click the cells and change them; to delete, simply click the tags then press the "Delete" button.

Regular expressions may also be used to define the tags. Regular expressions are derived from the UNIX utility GREP and enable powerful text searches to be carried out using the special characters. If checked, the defined tags pairs are interpreted as regular expressions.
