wp_kses_one_attr

Filters one HTML attribute and ensures its value is allowed.

This function can escape data in some situations where `wp_kses()` must strip the whole attribute.

	$uris              = wp_kses_uri_attributes();

	// Preserve leading and trailing whitespace.
	$matches = array();
	preg_match( '/^s*/', $string, $matches );
	$lead = $matches[0];
	preg_match( '/s*$/', $string, $matches );

		// Also guarantee correct quoting in $string for this one attribute.

			$quote = '';
		} else {
			$quote = $value[0];
		}
		if ( '"' === $quote || "'" === $quote ) {
