How to Escape HTML Online
Escaping HTML makes text safe to display. Here is the quick way to do it.
Paste and encode
Drop in the text or snippet containing angle brackets, ampersands or quotes. Encoding replaces each with its entity so the browser shows the literal characters.
Use the safe output
Paste the encoded text into your template or content where it should appear as plain text rather than markup.
