Encode or decode HTML entities in text.
More about the HTML Encoder/Decoder
A literal less-than sign or an ampersand dropped directly into HTML content doesn't stay literal text, it gets read as the start of a tag or an entity reference instead, which is exactly why displaying a code snippet or a comparison symbol inside a webpage safely requires escaping it as an HTML entity first rather than typing the character directly. This tool encodes special characters into HTML entities and decodes them back into readable text, moving in either direction between the raw character and its safe entity representation. Useful for safely displaying a literal angle bracket or an ampersand inside a webpage without it breaking the surrounding markup, decoding HTML entities found in a scraped page's source back into plain readable text, or preparing a code snippet to be embedded in HTML without its symbols being misread as actual tags.
