When to use HTML Entity Encoder & Decoder
Escape characters before displaying a text snippet as HTML, or decode common named and numeric entities into readable characters.
Practical example
<p>Hello & welcome</p> becomes <p>Hello & welcome</p>. Decoding <b> returns the literal text <b>.
Does decoding execute HTML?
No. Results remain in a text area. This helper handles common named entities and numeric references; it is not an HTML sanitizer or a complete named-entity catalog.
