FAQ
Why escape characters like < and &?
So the browser shows them as text instead of treating them as HTML tags or entities. Untick escaping only if your text already contains HTML you want to keep.
Will links open in a new tab?
Only if you tick “Links open in new tab”, which adds target="_blank" with rel="noopener noreferrer" for safety.
