What is HTML Escape Tool?
An HTML escape tool converts special characters into their HTML entity equivalents to prevent them from being interpreted as HTML markup. The five critical characters are: & (ampersand) → &, < (less than) → <, > (greater than) → >, " (double quote) → ", and ' (single quote) → '. Escaping is essential for security (preventing XSS attacks), displaying code in HTML documents, and ensuring special characters render correctly in web pages. The reverse operation (unescaping) converts entities back to their original characters. This tool supports both directions, making it useful for both encoding content for web display and decoding HTML entities for processing.
