Thanks for the great extension! Would it be possible to add a way to HTML encode all characters similar to this website? http://www.wbwip.com/wbw/emailencoder.html

biati-digital commented 3 years ago

Hi @kimonostereo yes it's possible an easy, do you use it to encode emails only?

kimonostereo commented 3 years ago

Hi @biati-digital Yeah, mainly for emails as a simple way to obfuscate them from web scrapers, although I'm not sure how effective it is.

biati-digital commented 3 years ago

Hi @kimonostereo this was added in 2.0.1, try it selecting text and calling the command HTML to Decimal Entities

Not sure how effective it is, i've used this method in the past and it appears to help, at least for bots using regular expressions to match emails.

Hi @biati-digital ~ Thanks for adding it! It works great! There is an extra Decode HTML Entities menu item that I think should be labeled Decimal Entities to HTML.

biati-digital commented 3 years ago

The duplicated Decode HTML Entities is an error (i'll fix it asap), there's no need for an extra Decimal Entities to HTML, Decode HTML Entities can already convert the decimal entities back to HTML, the problem is that probably some users will not know this.

Just out of curiosity, have you ever converted decimal entities back to HTML?

kimonostereo commented 3 years ago

Thank you! It's not something I normally do.

biati-digital commented 3 years ago

Hi @kimonostereo, we removed the duplicate command, we decided to not add another command and instead just mention in the README that it can be converted back to HTML with Decode HTML Entities. Please update the extension.
