HTML entity encoder / decoder

Runs in your browser.

What is HTML entity encoder / decoder?

Characters like <, >, and & have special meaning in HTML, so displaying them literally (rather than having the browser interpret them as markup) requires encoding them as entities like &lt; and &amp;.

How to use it

Type text to see it HTML-entity-encoded, or paste encoded text to decode it back to plain characters.

Example

Tom & Jerry <say> -> Tom &amp; Jerry &lt;say&gt;
