Frequently Asked Questions
- What is HTML escaping?
- HTML escaping replaces characters like '<' and '>' with entities like '<' and '>' so the browser displays them as text rather than executing them as code.
- Is my code secure?
- Yes, all processing is done locally via JavaScript, so your source code is never exposed to external servers.
