Frequently asked questions
What are smart quotes?
Curly quotation marks like “ ” and ‘ ’ that word processors insert. Code and some systems need plain straight quotes instead.
Will removing HTML tags keep the text inside them?
Yes. Only the tags are removed; the visible text between them is kept, and common entities like & are decoded.
What counts as non-ASCII?
Any character beyond basic English letters, digits and symbols — accented letters, emoji and symbols from other scripts.
