Paste your text, and the tool encodes special characters like &, <, >, and " into their HTML entity equivalents for safe display.
Encoding prevents special characters from being interpreted as HTML tags. It's essential for displaying user input safely and preventing XSS attacks.
Common encodings: & → &, < → <, > → >, " → ", ' → '. Extended encoding includes accented characters and symbols.
Always encode user input before displaying it in HTML. Use it when you want to show HTML code as text rather than rendering it.
