About HTML Escape Tool
HTML escaping converts characters that have special meaning in HTML into their entity equivalents, preventing them from being interpreted as HTML tags or attributes. The five critical characters are: & (ampersand) becomes &, < (less-than) becomes <, > (greater-than) becomes >, double quote becomes ", and single quote becomes '. Failing to escape user-supplied content before inserting it into HTML is one of the most common sources of Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities. Always escape untrusted input when rendering it in HTML. This tool also supports unescaping HTML entities back to their original characters.
