Frequently asked questions
- Is this an HTML sanitizer?
- No. Output is plain text. Do not feed it back into innerHTML and expect it to be safe markup.
- What happens to script and style?
- The tags and their bodies are dropped. Comments are dropped. Block tags become newlines.
- Entities?
- Optional decode of & < and numeric entities. Out-of-range &#…; codes stay as text instead of throwing.
- Uploaded?
- No. The strip runs in this tab.
