About the HTML Entity Encoder
Escaping prevents text from being interpreted as HTML — essential when showing code samples or user content. Minimal mode escapes only the five characters that matter for safety; other modes convert special symbols to named entities (©, —) or numeric references for ASCII-only environments.
How to use it
- Choose the encoding mode.
- Paste your text or HTML.
- Copy the escaped output.
Good to know
- For XSS protection, escaping must happen in the right context (HTML body, attribute, JavaScript, URL). Templating engines usually handle this automatically.
