That of course was my first port of call, but it doesn't do the needed job.

I want a version of that that is intelligent, and knows what are HTML
tags, and leaves those alone, or what are simply isolated < and > chars.

I know a lot of sites use things like [URL] and [B] to encode markup for
this reason I suppose. to a special chars on them and THEN replace [
with < and so on..but then what happens if you actually want to encode a
'[' ?

Ineptocracy

(in-ep-toc’-ra-cy) – a system of government where the least capable to
lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the
members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are
rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a
diminishing number of producers.
