FAQ
Does xml unescape send my input to a server?
No. XML Unescape handles the input in your browser whenever possible, so routine conversions, previews, and copy actions stay on your device instead of being sent to Calctrove servers.
Can numeric entities be decoded too?
Yes. Supported decimal and hexadecimal numeric entities decode to Unicode characters.
Why is part of my text still escaped?
The remaining segment may use unsupported or custom entities outside standard XML mappings.
