Technical Specifications & How It Works
Extracting plain text from rich HTML emails, CMS exports, or web scrapes requires stripping tags while preserving line breaks and decoding entities.
When converting from text to HTML, the parser escapes dangerous symbols like ampersands and angle brackets while wrapping paragraphs in semantic <p> tags.
Because the DOMParser operates in your local browser sandbox, confidential documents and proprietary markup remain completely private.
