FAQs

Why encode HTML entities?β–Ό

Encoding entities like < > & prevents them from being interpreted as HTML. This is essential for security (prevents XSS attacks) and ensures special characters display correctly.

When should I use <br> vs <p> tags?β–Ό

<p> tags define semantic paragraphs and add spacing. <br> is for line breaks within a paragraph. Use <p> for separate thoughts/ideas, <br> for formatting within the same thought.

Is this safe for user-generated content?β–Ό

With entity encoding enabled, yes. This tool escapes potentially dangerous characters. However, always validate and sanitize user input on your server as well.

Can I use this for Markdown?β–Ό

This tool converts plain text to basic HTML. For Markdown-to-HTML conversion, you would need a Markdown parser as Markdown has additional syntax like headers, lists, and links.
