Frequently asked questions

What is an HTML entity?

It's an encoded form of a character, like &amp; for &, used so the character displays as text instead of being interpreted as markup.

Does it handle numeric entities?

Yes — both named entities (&amp;) and numeric ones (&#38;) are decoded.

Is it private?

Yes. Decoding happens in your browser.
