HTML unescaping converts character entities back into their represented characters

HTML entities such as encoded ampersands, quotation marks or angle brackets can be converted back into normal text for editing and inspection.

After unescaping, the result may contain real markup-sensitive characters. If that text is later inserted into a web page, it must be handled safely for the destination context.

When unescaping helps

  • Read entity-encoded text more naturally.
  • Prepare escaped content for plain-text editing.
  • Inspect data exported from HTML-oriented systems.

What to remember

  • Unescaped text is not automatically safe HTML.
  • Do not insert untrusted unescaped content directly into executable browser contexts.
  • Check whether repeated entity encoding has occurred before decoding multiple times.

Before relying on the result

Keep the source until you have checked the generated output. The source and destination formats can represent structure, layout and metadata differently, so important documents should be reviewed in the application or device where the result will actually be used.
