Quick answers

Frequently asked questions

Where can I safely use HTML-encoded output?

It is suitable for displaying text inside an HTML text context. Attribute, script, URL, and CSS contexts require their own encoding rules.

Does HTML encoding sanitize an entire webpage?

No. This tool escapes input text; it does not audit scripts or make arbitrary HTML safe to render. Prefer safe DOM text APIs.
