What this tool does

Convert characters to HTML entities or decode entity references back to text. Named, decimal, hexadecimal, and minimal-safe modes are supported, and decoded output is displayed as text rather than executed as HTML.

Choose the required options and run the tool.
Review the output and limitations, then copy or download it.
