Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about this tool, how it works, and privacy.
What does the HTML entity escaper do?
Paste text and choose Encode HTML entities. The tool converts & to &, < to <, > to >, " to ", and apostrophes to ', so the result can be pasted safely into HTML. For example, <p class="note"> becomes <p class="note">.
Which characters are escaped?
Ampersands, angle brackets, double quotes, and apostrophes are escaped. Other text, including whitespace and line breaks, is left unchanged.
What happens with empty input?
Enter text before encoding. Empty input shows a clear error instead of an empty result.
Does my text leave my browser?
No. Escaping and copying run locally in your browser. CodeASystem does not upload or store the text you enter.
