FAQ

Does this cover every named entity, not just the common ones?

Yes - decoding uses a detached textarea's own innerHTML/.value trick rather than a hand-rolled regex, so it's correct for every named and numeric entity a browser understands, not a hardcoded shortlist.

Is that decoding trick safe?

Yes - textarea content is never parsed as markup, so pasting HTML in to decode it can't execute anything.

Is my text sent anywhere?

No, both encoding and decoding happen entirely in your browser.
