+  <longdesc>
+    <p>This method rarely needs to be called directly. Instead, use it as an entry point to modify existing <a href="/category/manipulation/">jQuery manipulation methods</a>. For instance, to remove all <code>&lt;del&gt;</code> tags from incoming HTML strings, do this:</p>
+    <pre><code>
+var htmlPrefilter = $.htmlPrefilter,
+  rdel = /&lt;(del)(?=[\s&gt;])[\w\W]*?&lt;\/\1\s*&gt;/gi;
+
+$.htmlPrefilter = function( html ) {
+  return htmlPrefilter.call( this, html ).replace( rdel, "" );
+};
+    </code></pre>
+    <p>This function can also be overwritten in order to bypass certain edge case issues. The default <code>htmlPrefilter</code> function in jQuery will greedily ensure that all tags are XHTML-compliant. This includes anything that looks like an HTML tag, but is actually within a string (e.g. <pre>&lt;a title="&lt;div /&gt;"&gt;&lt;&gt;</pre>). The <code>jQuery.htmlPrefilter()</code> function can be used to bypass this:</p>
+    <pre><code>
+$.htmlPrefilter = function( html ) {
+  // Return HTML strings unchanged
+  return html;
+};
+    </code></pre>
+    <p>However, while the above fix is short and simple, it puts the burden on you to ensure XHTML-compliant tags in any HTML strings. A more thorough fix for this issue would be this:</p>
+    <pre><code>
+var panything = "[\\w\\W]*?",
+
+  // Whitespace

+
