How to use HTML entities

HTML entities let text include characters that would otherwise be parsed as markup. They are for representation, not encryption or sanitization.

Choose Encode and enter text containing markup-sensitive characters. The tool writes HTML5 named entities where available.

Choose Decode to turn entity references such as & or numeric entities into their text characters.
