Questions

Which entities are handled?

The five that matter for escaping, plus numeric entities in both decimal and hexadecimal form. Anything it does not recognise is left exactly as it was.

Is my text sent to a server?

No. This tool runs entirely in your browser — nothing you type or paste is uploaded, logged or stored anywhere.

Is there a limit on how much text I can use?

There is no fixed limit. Very large documents depend on your device’s memory, but ordinary pages and files are handled instantly.
