How to use

Select Load example to restore the sample, or replace the labeled inputs with your own values.
Review the options and select Run tool. No input is sent to a server.
Color commands and hyperlink wrappers disappear; the readable text stays. Literal-notation mode decodes only explicit escape markers, not arbitrary JavaScript escapes.
Inspect the result, then copy or download it. Clear removes visible inputs and output.

Scope & limitations

Strips CSI, OSC, DCS/SOS/PM/APC strings and ESC sequences. Unterminated sequences are errors. This does not emulate cursor motion, erase operations, backspaces or progress-bar overwriting; remaining line controls are preserved.
