HTML encoding and decoding are essential for converting special characters into HTML entities or converting them back to their original characters. This process is useful when dealing with data that includes special symbols, ensuring that these symbols are displayed correctly in HTML contexts.
In this form, you can either encode text by converting special characters into HTML entities or decode HTML entities back to their corresponding characters. This tool provides a flexible approach to handle HTML data for web development and security purposes.
Key Features:
- Encode: Converts special characters into HTML entities.
- Decode: Converts HTML entities back into their original characters.
- Command Output: Provides a Python command for encoding or decoding, which you can run directly from your terminal.
- Interactive: The form dynamically updates as you input text to encode or decode, showing the corresponding Python command.
Common HTML Encoding and Decoding Options:
- –encode: Encode special characters into HTML entities.
- –decode: Decode HTML entities back to their original characters.
Examples of HTML Commands:
Encoding Example:
- Input:
Hello & welcome to the world of "HTML" encoding! - Command:
> python3 -c "import html; print(html.escape('Hello & welcome to the world of \"HTML\" encoding!'))" - Output:
Hello & welcome to the world of "HTML" encoding!
Decoding Example:
- Input:
