Description testerro 2009-06-06 12:13:14 UTC 
There should be a way to paste HTML code into the Netbeans editor as text, ie. with automatic replacements of characters
like <, >, & and " to their corresponding HTML entities:

<i>"This is an example."</i>

->

&lt;i&gt;&quot;It is an example.&quot;&lt;/i&gt;

Having to do such conversions by hand is unfeasible for larger amounts of text and requires using an external editor for
larger amounts of text.
Comment 1 Marek Fukala 2013-01-02 12:09:28 UTC 
I believe such usecase could be covered by some "convert to entities" action.
