HTML Obfuscator

This tool makes HTML source code harder for spambots to read. It does this by replacing randomly chosen characters with their equivalent character entities, so for example "A" becomes "A", "B" becomes "B", and so on. This makes it impossible to search for strings such as "my address is ..." by simple pattern matching, and makes it harder for spambots to identify your contact details. (Note: mailto: links can be protected with my email scrambler tool.)
