+WebHelpers is a wide variety of utility functions for web applications and other
+applications.
+It can be used with any web framework.
+
+WebHelpers includes the widely-used HTML tag builder with smart escaping and
+convenience functions for common tags such as form fields.
+The common builder ensures the tags are syntactically correct and prevent
+cross-site scripting attacks and double-escaping.
+
+Other helpers perform text processing, split a large number of records into
+pages, generate Atom/RSS feeds with geographical (GIS) data, handle MIME types,
+calculate numerica statistics, and more.
+There are also high-level container types, including a value counter and
+accumulator.
+There are lists of country names, country codes, US states, Canadian provinces,
+and UK counties.
