This tool also includes built-in HTML entity encoding, allowing you to safely display HTML source code on your webpage without it being rendered or executed by the browser. By encoding special characters, your code remains visible exactly as written, making it ideal for tutorials, documentation, blog posts, and educational examples.

HTML entities are used to represent special characters that would otherwise be interpreted as part of the HTML itself. Common characters such as angle brackets (< and >), quotation marks, and ampersands must be encoded to ensure they are displayed correctly as text. HTML entities are also useful for representing characters that are not available on a standard keyboard, such as accented letters, symbols, and mathematical characters.

Each HTML entity begins with an ampersand (&) and ends with a semicolon (;), ensuring the browser correctly recognizes and displays the intended character. By automatically handling this encoding for you, the tool helps prevent display issues, broken layouts, and unintended HTML rendering - making your source code clear, readable, and safe to share.
