-# Description
-
-Text formatting in Javascript. Detect the user-defined identifiers in the text and convert them into HTML tags like bold, italic, strike, and many more having XSS (Cross-site scripting) security with escaping functionality, also detect the links like URLs, email, and IP addresses and wrap them into Anchor tag `<a>` with also other user define formatting.

-
-## Text Formatting
-
-```js
-import { ibsFormat } from 'ibs-format';
-```
-
- For formatting the function 'ibsFormat' needs two arguments.
-   1) the text with identifiers in the first argument, in the form of string.
-   2) tags and identifiers in the second argument, in the form of string array.
-
-```js
-var myText = "Once upon a time, there was a *thristy* ~_crow_~."
-```
-
-In the array, the tag symbols in the first index and their identifier in the second index.
-
-```js
-var tagArray = [['b','*'],['i','_'],['strike','~'],["mark","!"]];
-```
-
- * Here symbol, 'b' is using for 'bold', 'i' for 'italic', 'strike' for 'strike' and 'mark' for 'mark' tag with their respective Identifiers.
- * The user can use as many tags and their identifiers of his own choice.
- * Some special characters can't be used as identifiers for example, dollar sign '$'.
- * Now the function will look like.
-
-```js
- myText = ibsFormat(myText, tagArray);
-```
-
-### The function will return the result with tags
-
-`Once upon a time, there was a <b>thristy</b> <strike><i>crow</i></strike>.`
-
-
-### HTML
-
-`<p [innerHTML]="myText"></p>`
-
-
-### The result will
-
-Once upon a time, there was a <b>thristy</b> <strike><i>crow</i></strike>.
-
-<a name="links-detecting"/>
-
-# Links Detecting
-
-For auto detecting links in to the text and converting them to HTML `<a>` tags, the function 'ibsFormat' needs three arguments
- * To enable auto detecting links create an object and set its 'detectLinks' property to true.
- * You can also specify the target of the links by creating a property 'target' in the object, it is optional with default value '_self'.
- * The value of 'target' property can be set to, '_blank', '_self', '_parent', '_top'.
- * Put the object in the third argument.
- Like:
-
- ```js
- var myText = "The *best* website for learning _JS_ is https://www.w3schools.com/ and my email is info@myemail.com."
-
- var tagArray = [['b','*'],['i','_'],['strike','~'],["mark","!"]];
-
- var obj = {detectLinks: true, target: '_blank'};
-
- myText = ibsFormat(myText, tagArray, obj);
- ```
-
-### The function will return
-
-````
-The <b>best</b> website for learning <i>JS</i> is <a href='https://www.w3schools.com/' target='_blank'>https://www.w3schools.com/</a>
-and my email is <a href='mailto:info@myemail.com' target='_blank'>info@myemail.com</a>.
-````
-
-### The result will
-
-The <b>best</b> website for learning <i>JS</i> is <a href='https://www.w3schools.com/' target='_blank'>https://www.w3schools.com/</a>
-and my email is <a href='mailto:info@myemail.com' target='_blank'>info@myemail.com</a>.
-
-
-### In order to skip the text formatting set the second argument null, like:
-
-```js
-myText = ibsFormat(myText, null, obj);
-```
-<a name="cross-site-scripting-(xss)"/>
-
-# Cross Site Scripting (XSS).
-
-XSS attacks enable attackers to inject client-side scripts into web pages viewed by other users. In order to prevent those scripts, the
-client side tags are converted into nonexecutable through escaping. These security checks are enabled by default and it is recommended to
-keep them enabled, but in order to bypass these security checks place a forth argument in the function. 
-
-### In order to skip the XSS security checking:
-
-Place a JSON object in the forth argument and set it's value to false, if the forth argument is missing then it's value will be true by default. 
-
-```js
-myText = ibsFormat(myText, tagArray, obj, { allowXssEscaping : false });
-```
-
-<a name="format-the-text-at-run-time-using-custom-pipe"/>
-
-# Format the text at run time using custom Pipe.
-
-In order to format the text at run time in HTML, create a custom pipe and use the function there.
-
-### Create a custom pipe, 'custom-pipe.pipe.ts'.
-
-```js
-import { Pipe, PipeTransform } from '@angular/core';
-import { ibsFormat } from "ibs-format";
-
-@Pipe({ name: 'ibsformat' })
-export class ibsformatPipe implements PipeTransform {
-  transform(value: any, args?: any): any {
-    
-    value = ibsFormat(value, [["b", "*"], ["i", "_"], ["strike", "~"],["mark","!"]],{ detectLinks: true, target: "_blank" });
-
-    return value;
-  }
-}
-```
-
-### Make its entry in 'module.ts'.
-
-```js
-import { ibsformatPipe } from './custom-pipe.pipe';
-
-// also add in declarations array
-@NgModule({
-  declarations: [ AppComponent, ibsformatPipe ],
-})
-```
-
-### Now use the pipe directly in HTMl
-
-`<p [innerHTML]="myText | ibsformat"></p>`
-
-<a name="use-the-external-'ngx-linkifyjs'-library-for-detecting-the-links"/>
-
-# Use the external 'ngx-linkifyjs' library for detecting the links
-
-If you do not want to use the built-in 'detectLinks' functionality and want to use any other library for detecting the links, like 'ngx-linkifyjs', so after installing and configuring the 'ngx-linkifyjs' you can use the 'linkify' pipe before the 'ibsFormat' pipe, 
-and set the library's 'detectLinks' and 'allowXssEscaping' properties to false.
-
-`<p [innerHTML]="myText | linkify | ibsformat"></p>`
-
-```js
-value = ibsFormat(
-      value,
-      [["b", "*"], ["i", "_"], ["strike", "~"], ["mark", "!"]],
-      { detectLinks: false, target: "_blank" }, 
-      { allowXssEscaping: false } 
-    )
-```
-
-
-For full example of custom pipe, see the live demo mention above.
-
-### Feel free to report any bugs or improvements.
-
-<a name="precautions"/>
-
-# Precautions
-
-* Don't change the index positioning.
-* The function does not supports double or multiple identifiers rather than double asterisks '**'.
-* Don't use same identifiers for multiple tags.
-* Some special characters can't be used as identifiers for example, dollar sign '$'.
