FAQ

When do I need to escape?

Whenever text goes inside HTML or an attribute: escaping stops it from being parsed as markup.

Named or numeric entities?

Named entities such as &amp; are readable, while numeric ones such as &#38; work for any character.

Can decoding run a script?

No. Decoding only turns entities into text; nothing is executed or injected into the page.
