Quick answers
Frequently asked questions
Will HTML decoding remove dangerous markup?
No. Decoding entities can reveal markup characters. Insert the result as text, not trusted HTML, unless it has been separately sanitized.
What kinds of entities can the HTML decoder read?
It handles common named entities and numeric references in pasted text. Review unusual or malformed entities before using the result.
