   You can adapt this file completely to your liking, but it should at least
   contain the root `toctree` directive.

Welcome to Bleach's documentation!
==================================

Bleach is a whitelist-based HTML sanitization and text linkification library.
It is designed to take untrusted user input with *some* HTML.

Because Bleach uses html5lib_ to parse document fragments the same way browsers
do, it is extremely resilient to unknown attacks, much more so than
regular-expression-based sanitizers.

Bleach's ``linkify`` function is highly configurable and can be used to find,
edit, and filter links most other auto-linkers can't.

The version of bleach on GitHub_ is the always the most up-to-date and the
``master`` branch should always work.

.. warn::

   Bleach is currently incompatible with html5lib 1.0b and any versions below
   0.9.5.


Installing Bleach
=================

Bleach is available on PyPI_, so you can install it with ``pip``::

    $ pip install bleach

Or with ``easy_install``::

    $ easy_install bleach
