+<h1>Text Helper</h1>
+
+<p>The Text Helper file contains functions that assist in working with text.</p>
+
+
+<h2>Loading this Helper</h2>
+
+<p>This helper is loaded using the following code:</p>
+<code>$this->load->helper('text');</code>
+
+<p>The following functions are available:</p>
+
+
+<h2>word_limiter()</h2>
+
+<p>Truncates a string to the number of <strong>words</strong> specified. Example:</p>
+
+<code>
+$str = "Here is a nice text string consisting of eleven words.";<br />
+<br />
+$string = word_limiter($string, 4);<br /><br />
+
+// Returns: Here is a nice…
+</code>
+
+<p>The third parameter is an optional suffix added to the string. By default it add an ellipsis.</p>
+
+
+<h2>character_limiter()</h2>
+
+<p>Truncates a string to the number of <strong>characters</strong> specified. It maintains the integrity
+of words so the character count may be slightly more or less then what you specify. Example:</p>
+
+<code>
+$str = "Here is a nice text string consisting of eleven words.";<br />
+<br />
+$string = char_limiter($string, 20);<br /><br />
+
+// Returns: Here is a nice text string…
+</code>
+
+<p>The third parameter is an optional suffix added to the string. By default it add an ellipsis.</p>
+
+
+
+<h2>ascii_to_entities()</h2>
+
+<p>Converts ASCII values to character entities, including high ASCII and MS Word characters that can cause problems when used in a web page,
+so that they can be shown consistently regardless of browser settings or stored reliably in a database.
+There is some dependance on your server's supported character sets, so it may not be 100% reliable in all cases, but for the most
+part it should correctly identify characters outside the normal range (like accented characters). Example:</p>
+
+<code>$string = ascii_to_entities($string);</code>
+
+
+<h2>entities_to_ascii()</h2>
+
+<p>This function does the opposite of the previous one; it turns character entities back into ASCII.</p>
+
+
+<h2>word_censor()</h2>
+
+<p>Enables you to censor words within a text string. The first parameter will contain the original string. The
+second will contain an array of words which you disallow. The third (optional) parameter can contain a replacement value
+for the words. If not specified they are replaced with pound signs: ####. Example:</p>
+
+<code>
+$disallowed = array('darn', 'shucks', 'golly', 'phooey');<br />
+<br />
+$string = word_censor($string, $disallowed, 'Beep!');</code>
+
+
+<h2>highlight_code()</h2>
+
+<p>Colorizes a string of code (PHP, HTML, etc.). Example:</p>
+
+<code>$string = highlight_code($string);</code>
+
+<p>The function uses PHP's highlight_string() function, so the colors used are the ones specified in your php.ini file.</p>
+
+
+<h2>highlight_phrase()</h2>
+
+<p>Will highlight a phrase within a text string. The first parameter will contain the original string, the second will
+contain the phrase you wish to highlight. The third and fourth parameters will contain the opening/closing HTML tags
+you would like the phrase wrapped in. Example:</p>
+
+<code>
+$str = "Here is a nice text string about nothing in particular.";<br />
+<br />
+$string = highlight_phrase($string, "nice text", '<span style="color:#990000">', '</span>');
+</code>
+
+<p>The above text returns:</p>
+
+<p>Here is a <span style="color:#990000">nice text</span> string about nothing in particular.</p>
+
+
+
+<h2>word_wrap()</h2>
+
+<p>Wraps text at the specified <strong>character</strong> count while maintaining complete words. Example:</p>
+
+<code>$string = "Here is a simple string of text that will help us demonstrate this function.";<br />
+<br />
+echo word_wrap($string, 25);<br />
+<br />
+// Would produce:<br />
+<br />
+Here is a simple string<br />
+of text that will help<br />
+us demonstrate this<br />
+function</code>
