Loofah is an HTML sanitizer. It will _always_ fix broken markup, but  
can also sanitize unsafe tags in a few different ways, and transform  
the markup for storage or display.

It’s built on top of Nokogiri and libxml2, so it’s fast. And it uses  
html5lib’s whitelist, so it most likely won’t make your codes less  
secure.

This library was formerly known as Dryopteris.
