Frequently asked questions
Why must a Character reference end with a semicolon?
This Tool resolves only terminated references such as &. It leaves & without a semicolon unchanged instead of guessing where an older browser might stop reading a name.
Why does unescaping &lt; leave <?
Unescaping makes one pass through the input. It resolves & to an ampersand, then leaves the resulting < untouched so stored escaped text is not turned into markup repeatedly.
What happens to an unsupported named reference?
Names in the curated table and valid decimal or hexadecimal Numeric references resolve. An unsupported terminated name is left as written and listed below the result so it is visible.
