It didn't work with Rails 2.0.2 out of the box, so I tried a little
tinkering by replacing this:

include ActionView::Helpers::TextHelper

with

include ActionView::Helpers::SanitizeHelper

I get a "undefined method `white_list_sanitizer' for #<Class:0x248a8bc>"
error.

Nevermind, got it working. Will submit to plugin maintainer...

I run into this similar error:
ActionView::TemplateError (undefined method `white_list_sanitizer' for
TextHelperSingleton:Class)
How did you fix that?
I used this:

I never heard anything back from the plugin maintainer, so I left my
customizations "on top" of the plugin in my use of it. They can be seen
at

What are all the plugins available for sanitizing user input and that

You may want to checkout the new Sanitize gem. I just read about it
here:

http://www.rubyinside.com/how-to-sanitize-html-and-css-in-ruby-1429.html

As far as Rails I haven't updated to the latest version yet, so no idea
if my version of the plugin still works.
