Encodes text. "Encode" in this context refers to HTML entities or URL encoding, not character encodings. Most of these commands work in both directions (e.g. you can encode to html entities, or from html entities).
This plugin was intended to be used with selections, but if you don't have any text selected, it will act on the entire document. This can be handy (if you're base64-encoding a file, for instance), but also have unintended consequences. For instance, you probably should not use URL Decode
on an entire text document.
You can also encode the clipboard, use the string_encode_paste
command, and you will be presented with a menu to choose the encoding, and the clipboard will be encoded and inserted.
