About HTML Entity Encoder / Decoder
Encodes special characters into HTML entities (like converting a literal < into <) or decodes HTML entities back into their original characters.
Paste your text or HTML, choose encode or decode, and the converted result appears immediately.
This matters most for characters that have special meaning in HTML itself, like angle brackets and ampersands — encoding these correctly prevents them from being misinterpreted as actual HTML markup.
