About this HTML Encode
HTML Encode converts reserved characters such as <, >, &, quotes, and apostrophes into HTML entities so the browser won't interpret them as markup.
This is useful when writing documentation, sharing snippets, or debugging HTML output. Only HTML-sensitive characters are encoded; normal text remains unchanged.
