 * Hi there everyone.
 * I have been working on a theme I plan on submitting to ThemeForest in the next
   few days, however, i am being held back by one of their submission requirements.
 * The WordPress theme should make use of the following functions to validate or
   sanitise content on input or escape any questionnable content for output:
 * For Input:
 * wp_filter_nohtml_kses()
    wp_filter_kses() wp_kses()
 * For Output:
 * esc_attr()
    esc_html() esc_js() esc_textarea() esc_url()
 * And while i have searched for the above functions in the codex, i really need
   an example of how to use these functions..
 * Any help would be appreciated.
 * Thanks in advance
