# Deprecation: #15415 - Deprecate removeBadHTML

See [forge#15415](https://forge.typo3.org/issues/15415)

## Description

Due to the wrong approach of removeBadHTML it is not 100% complete and does not keep its promise.

-   `ContentObjectRenderer::stdWrap_removeBadHTML()`
-   `ContentObjectRenderer::removeBadHTML()`
-   `stdWrap.removeBadHTML`

## Impact

Using the mentioned method or stdWrap property will trigger a deprecation log entry.

## Affected Installations

Instances that use the method or stdWrap property.

## Migration

Implement a proper encoding by yourself. Use `htmlspecialchars()` or `stdWrap.htmlSpecialChars`
in the context of HTML, `GeneralUtility::quoteJSvalue()` or `stdWrap.encodeForJavaScriptValue`
in the context of JavaScript.
