Text Tools FAQ

Why use a text tool instead of AI?

Exact formatting, escaping, regex matching and slug generation need deterministic output. AI is useful for drafting, but these workflows need predictable rules.

Is HTML escaping the same as sanitizing?

No. Escaping displays markup as text. Sanitizing removes unsafe markup from untrusted HTML.

Can Markdown previews differ by platform?

Yes. GitHub, CMS tools and static site generators support different Markdown extensions.
