About the HTML Entity Decoder
The HTML Entity Decoder uses the browser's HTML parser in an inert textarea context to resolve named, decimal and hexadecimal character references. It returns text and never executes decoded markup.
How to use the HTML Entity Decoder
- Paste the entity-encoded value.
- Decode it into plain text.
- Copy the result, treating any recovered markup as untrusted input.
Practical tips
- Decoding can reveal angle brackets that were previously harmless text.
- Do not inject untrusted decoded output with innerHTML.
