Frequently Asked Questions
What are HTML entities?
HTML entities are structured text codes used to display reserved characters (like < and >) or hidden characters (like non-breaking spaces) that would otherwise be parsed as live code markup by browsers.
Why should I escape HTML characters?
Escaping tags protects databases and websites from code injection attacks (such as cross-site scripting/XSS). It is also necessary to print literal HTML tags inside text blocks on blogs or forums.
How does code beautification work?
The built-in beautifier splits tags and text blocks, strips excessive whitespaces, indent-nests nested elements by two spaces, and aligns inline tags for maximum structural readability.
Are my HTML snippets processed on a server?
No, all operations (escaping, unescaping, beautifying, and minifying) are executed locally in your browser using JavaScript. No text is uploaded to any server.
