Core Features

HTML Input & Analysis

The first step is to paste your HTML code into the text area. BlastBox Code supports:

Complete HTML documents
HTML fragments and snippets
Complex nested structures
HTML with inline styles and scripts

                    <!DOCTYPE html>
                    <html>
                    <head>
                    <title>My Website</title>
                    </head>
                    <body>
                    <h1>Welcome to My Site</h1>
                    <p>This is some content to edit.</p>
                    </body>
                    </html>
                

Text Node Editing

After analysis, BlastBox Code presents all editable text in an organized list:

Each text node shows its location in the HTML structure
Original text is preserved for reference
Edit fields allow easy content modification
Changes are tracked and highlighted

Smart Detection: Only meaningful text content is extracted - scripts, styles, and empty nodes are ignored.

Change Preview

The preview feature shows you exactly what will change:

Side-by-side comparison of original vs. modified text
Color-coded changes (red for removed, green for added)
Context information showing where changes occur
Real-time updates as you make edits

Export Options

Once you're satisfied with your changes:

Download HTML: Save the modified HTML as a file
Copy to Clipboard: Copy the HTML code for pasting elsewhere
Original formatting and structure are preserved
Only text content is modified - all HTML tags remain intact

Step-by-Step Tutorial

1

Paste Your HTML Code

Navigate to the "Paste HTML" tab and paste your HTML code into the large text area. It should be a complete webpage, not just an HTML snippet.

Tip: You can paste HTML from any source - saved files, web page source, or HTML generators.

2

Click "Analyze HTML"

Press the blue "Analyze HTML" button. BlastBox Code will parse your HTML and extract all editable text nodes.

3

Edit Text/Visual Edit Content

The app automatically switches to the "Edit Text/Visual Edit" tab. You can also use the Visual Edit Beta, but some issues may occur and not all pages are displayed correctly. Here you'll see all editable text organized in cards showing:

The HTML element type (h1, p, div, etc.)
Text numbers
The original text content
An input field to enter your new text

4

Preview Your Changes

Switch to the "Preview" tab to see a summary of all your modifications.

5

Download or Copy

Go to the "Download" tab to see your complete modified HTML. You can either download it as a file or copy it to your clipboard for use elsewhere.

Tips & Best Practices

HTML Input Tips

Always paste complete, valid HTML for best results
The tool works with any HTML structure - simple or complex
Large HTML files are supported, but may take longer to process
Malformed HTML may cause parsing issues

Editing Best Practices

Make changes gradually and preview frequently
Use the preview feature to catch any unintended changes
Keep original text length in mind for layout considerations
Special characters and HTML entities are preserved

Performance Tips

For very large files, try separating styles and scripts by placing them in CSS and JS files instead of embedding them in the HTML code.
No data you paste is sent anywhere — everything is processed locally in your browser.
Your changes are not automatically saved - always download when finished

Privacy Note: BlastBox Code works entirely offline in your browser. Your HTML content never leaves your computer.

Troubleshooting

No Text Found

If no editable text is detected, check that your HTML contains actual text content (not just images or empty elements).

Changes Not Showing

Make sure to click in the input fields and modify the text. Changes appear in the preview tab automatically.

Download Issues

If download doesn't work, try using the "Copy to Clipboard" option instead and paste into a text editor.
