Questions, answered
Which named entities are decoded?
The decoder recognizes &, <, >, ", ' and , plus valid numeric entities such as © and 😀. A semicolon is required.
Is this a complete HTML sanitizer?
No. It is a text-escaping utility. Safe handling of untrusted HTML, URLs, attributes or scripts depends on the exact insertion context and may require a dedicated sanitizer.
