Jason is showing you what the iRule looks like in the config file. The "rule encodeHTML }" at the top, and the final closing curly brace are part of the rule definition. So to simulate what he's done, create a new rule called "encodeHTML" and start the proc with the "proc" command:

proc html_encode { str } {
    set encoded ""
    foreach char [split $str ""] {
        switch $char {
            "<" { append encoded "<" }
            ">" { append encoded ">" }
            "'" { append encoded "'" }
            {"} { append encoded """ }
            "&" { append encoded "&" }
            default { append encoded $char }
        }
    }
    return $encoded
}
