HTML Encode details

First, enter Text in HTML Encode. Next, review HTML-encoded and Output length (chars). Additionally, HTML Encode uses 2 input fields and 2 output blocks so the result is easy to scan and copy.

Convert any string into HTML-safe entities. The 5 reserved characters (&, <, >, ", ') are always escaped as named entities; non-ASCII characters can optionally be encoded as numeric entities (&#NNN;) so the result is safe to embed in 7-bit ASCII HTML. Runs entirely in your browser; your text is never uploaded.
