I wrote a small plugin to automatically encode emails in kirbytext and to provide a fieldMethod to apply the same filter to other fields, e.g. block-textfields.

This also works if a email gets wrapped in an A-Tag, because only the emails found are converted to encoded characters.

I imagine this is useful, in order that no rawtext email gets output on the website.

Maybe it’s also useful for someone here:

```
<?php

class Encode {
  public static function email ($value) {
    return Str::encode($value);
  }

  public static function emailsInText ($text) {
    $text = preg_replace_callback('/[A-Z0-9\._%+-]+(@)[A-Z0-9\.-]+(\.)[a-z]{2,6}/i', function($match) {
      return Encode::email($match[0]);
    }, $text);
    return $text;
  }
}

Kirby::plugin('site/encode', [
  'fieldMethods' => [
    'encodeEmail' => function ($field) {
        $field->value = Encode::email($field->value);
        return $field;
    },
    'encodeEmails' => function ($field) {
      $field->value = Encode::emailsInText($field->value);
      return $field;
  },
  ],
  'hooks' => [
    'kirbytext:after' => function ($text) { return Encode::emailsInText($text); }
  ],
]);
```
