Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I escape HTML characters?

Escaping HTML special characters prevents them from being interpreted as code in HTML documents, ensuring content displays correctly and securely.

What are extended characters?

Extended characters include mathematical symbols, currency symbols, and special punctuation marks that have HTML entity equivalents.

How are line breaks handled?

When line break conversion is enabled, newlines are converted to <br> tags. This preserves line breaks when the text is rendered as HTML.

Is this safe for all content types?

Yes, HTML escaping is safe for any text content. It ensures special characters are properly encoded without altering the original meaning of the text.
