Remarks

A rule specifies for which tag to apply a certain action. The rule can additionally specify that only tags with certain attributes should be processed (for instance, <A> tags with HREF attributes).

The actions can be pre-defined or user-defined (see TagRuleTypes). To implement user-defined action, create a method of ProcessElementDelegate type and pass a reference to it when calling Process(RuleSet, ProcessElementDelegate) or ProcessToString(RuleSet, ProcessElementDelegate) method.

To define rules, use RuleSet object methods.

To define a set of rules which tells Process(RuleSet, ProcessElementDelegate) method to remove any ponentially unsafe contents from the HTML document, use GetSafeHtmlRules method.

Note Note
A rule, once created and added to the RuleSet, cannot be changed. You can, however, remove an existing rule from the RuleSet and add anonther one.
