Frequently asked questions
Which characters get encoded?
The five characters with special meaning in HTML: &, <, >, ", and '.
Does it decode numeric entities too?
Yes - both decimal (') and hexadecimal (') numeric character references are decoded, along with named entities.
Is this the same as URL encoding?
No - HTML entity encoding protects text from being interpreted as HTML markup, while URL encoding protects text used inside a URL. They solve different problems.
Is my data sent anywhere?
No - encoding and decoding happen entirely in your browser.
