Description

https://docs.openedx.org/en/latest/developers/references/legacy_guide/preventing_xss/index.html

Break up 9.1 into smaller sections:

  • One doc on Concepts: what and why
  • One reference for each type of code (9.1.3 should be broken down, and all Mako & Underscore template should be under one page called “Legacy Templates”)
  • 9.2 “sanitizing input” should be converted to a simple reference doc

Research direction

Start with the linked preventing XSS guide, especially sections 9.1, 9.1.3, and 9.2. Review how the current material is organized, then split it into a concepts document, references for each code type, a Legacy Templates page for Mako and Underscore templates, and a simple sanitizing-input reference. Done means all listed sections are reorganized into those documents.
