Frequently Asked Questions

What is HTML encoding?

HTML encoding is the process of converting special characters into their corresponding HTML entities. This prevents browsers from interpreting these characters as HTML markup, which is essential for displaying code examples and preventing security vulnerabilities.

Why should I encode HTML special characters?

Encoding HTML special characters is crucial for web security and proper display. Without encoding, characters like < and > would be interpreted as HTML tags, potentially breaking your page layout or creating security vulnerabilities like XSS attacks.

What characters does this tool encode?

This tool encodes the five most important HTML special characters: & becomes &amp;, < becomes &lt;, > becomes &gt;, " becomes &quot;, and ' becomes &#39;.

Is my data stored when I use this tool?

No, all encoding happens in your browser. We don't store or transmit your text to any server.
