HTML Entity Encode

What is an HTML entity encoder tool?

An HTML entity encoder tool is a software application that transforms specific characters in your HTML code into their corresponding HTML entity codes. HTML entities are special codes that represent characters using a combination of ampersands (&), numbers, and semicolons (;). Encoding certain characters is essential because they can sometimes be misinterpreted during data transmission or storage. For instance, some characters might have special meanings within HTML code itself, and encoding them prevents them from being confused with code commands.
