Coming soon…This is an upcoming feature. HTML Encode is planned for general availability in version 10.1.

The Options tab of the HTML Encode Action allows you to choose the HTML entity format, control how existing entities are handled, and optionally store the result. These settings determine how reserved and non-ASCII characters are represented in the encoded output.

Choose named, decimal numeric, or hexadecimal numeric entities according to the requirements of the destination system. Existing valid entities can be preserved to prevent double encoding or encoded again when their literal text representation is required.

OptionsDetails
Entitiy format Specifies the format used for HTML entities in the encoded output:
  • Named · & · Uses named character references when available, such as &, <, and ".
  • Numeric · & · Uses decimal numeric character references based on each character's Unicode code point.
  • Hex · & · Uses hexadecimal numeric character references.

All three formats represent the same characters. Choose the format required by the destination system or preferred for readability and consistency.
Existing entities Controls how valid HTML entities already present in the input are handled:
  • Preserve · Leaves existing valid entities unchanged, preventing them from being encoded a second time.
  • Re-encode · Encodes existing entities again, preserving their entity markup as literal text. For example, & becomes &.
Also, store result inThe result of the encoding operation is already accessible via the Variable Wizard. Optionally, choose an existing variable to store the result. To create an empty variable, use the Set Variable Action.
