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.
