Frequently Asked Questions

When should I use this tool?

Use this tool when you need to convert plain text content into HTML format for websites, emails, or CMSs. It's especially useful for migrating content or preparing text for web display.

What does "escape HTML" mean?

Escaping HTML means converting special characters like <, >, and & into their HTML entity equivalents (&lt;, &gt;, &amp;). This prevents the browser from interpreting them as HTML code.

Will this convert URLs to clickable links?

Yes, if you enable the "Convert URLs to links" option, the tool will automatically detect URLs in your text and convert them to clickable HTML links with proper attributes.

How are line breaks handled?

If "Preserve line breaks" is enabled, single line breaks become <br> tags and double line breaks create new paragraphs (<p> tags). If disabled, all text is wrapped in a single paragraph.

Can I use this for email content?

Yes, the HTML output can be used in HTML emails. However, note that email clients have varying HTML support, so test your output in different email clients.
