Are special characters like < and & handled correctly?

Yes. All , &, ", and ' characters are escaped to their HTML entities so the output is safe to render in any browser without breaking the markup.

What is the difference between paragraph mode and line-break mode?

In paragraph mode, each non-empty line is wrapped in a tag, giving standard block spacing. In line-break mode, all lines are joined in one block separated by tags, which preserves the original line structure more tightly.

Is my text sent to any server?

No. All processing happens entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Nothing is uploaded or stored anywhere.

Can I set the character encoding of the output document?

The generated document always includes to ensure correct display of international characters.

What does the downloaded file contain?

The downloaded .html file is a complete, self-contained HTML5 document with a DOCTYPE declaration, head section (charset, viewport, title), and body with your converted content. It opens correctly in any modern browser.
