FAQ

Common questions

How does it decide where paragraphs start?
A blank line (two or more consecutive line breaks) marks a new paragraph. Single line breaks within a paragraph are only converted to <br> if you pick the "Paragraph and line-break tags" or "Line-break tags only" option.
What HTML tags does HTML to Text understand?
<p> and <br> tags plus the five common HTML entities (&amp;, &lt;, &gt;, &quot;, &#39;). Other tags pass through unchanged rather than being stripped.
Is my text sent anywhere?
No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript — nothing is transmitted, logged, or stored.
