Frequently asked questions
Does this preserve whitespace and newlines?
▾
The tool uses the browser's DOMParser and reads innerText, which preserves the visual layout of block elements (headings, paragraphs, line breaks) as newlines, similar to how a user would copy-paste from a rendered webpage.
Are HTML entities decoded?
▾
Yes. Entities like &, <, >, and are decoded to their plain-text equivalents because the browser parser handles them before extracting the text.
What happens with script and style tags?
▾
Script and style elements are removed before text extraction so that JavaScript code and CSS rules do not appear in the output.
Is any text lost during conversion?
▾
Alt text from images, title attributes, and hidden elements may or may not appear depending on the browser's innerText implementation. The output reflects what a user would see and copy from a rendered page.
