ATTRIBUTES

Attribute Pos. Req. Default Description

DESCRIPTION

The filter calls Perl crypt function to encrypt input data.

BEHAVIOR

This tag does not appear to be affected by, or affect, the rest of Interchange.

EXAMPLES

Example: Filter example with random salt

The encrypted string should be different each time you run the code because the salt is random.
Encrypted string TEST with random salt is: 
[filter crypt]TEST[/filter].

Example: Filter example with hand-specified salt

The encrypted string should be the same each time you run the code because the salt does not change.
Encrypted string TEST with salt of AB is: 
[filter crypt.AB]TEST[/filter].

In Interchange version 4.6.0, this symbol changed type from Filter to User Interface Tag.
