Specify HTML tags and attributes allowed in entry/page fields based upon system or blog settings.
Functions in a similar manner as, but is distinct from, the GlobalSanitizeSpec configuration directive.
A typical use case of this plugin is to cleanup the tag soup introduced by authors copying texts from Microsoft Word and pasting them in the rich text editor. Newest versions of MS Word will typically introduce invalid HTML code that can break a site layout and CSS styles. Also, and contrary to the MT sanitization default behavior, SanitizeBlogs 2 can allow the use of white-listed javascript events (such as the 'onclick' event generated by the Asset Manager for full-size images popups). You should only use this feature on blogs which authors you trust.
SanitizeBlogs 2 is a variant of the mt-plugin-SanitizeBlogs by Six Apart. While the Six Apart version sanitizes blogs based upon a blog URL prefix (useful for blogs published under the Community Platform), the present variant is more useful for a blog farm where you want all blogs to be sanitized with the ability to refine or prevent the sanitization for selected blogs.
