About HTML Entities
HTML entities represent characters that would otherwise be interpreted as markup. Encode the five characters that need escaping in HTML text, or decode browser-supported named and numeric entities back to readable text.
How to use
- Choose encode or decode.
- Paste HTML text or entities.
- Copy the converted value.
FAQ
Does encoding make untrusted HTML safe everywhere?
It safely escapes text for normal HTML content, but attributes, URLs, CSS, and JavaScript have different rules. Use a context-aware sanitizer in application code.
