Use HTML Entities to Display Reserved Characters
► Browsers will always read certain characters as being intended for use in HTML code.
An example is the angled brackets that we use to create tags. When we use the less-than angled bracket, the browser will immediately interpret any text that follows, as the name of some HTML element’s opening tag.
HTML Entities solve this problem or displaying reserved characters by giving us mnemonic aliases that we can use instead.
When the browser reads these aliases, it automatically replaces them with the character that the alias represents.
HTML Entities are an often overlooked topic that you will rarely see addressed, but incredibly important nonetheless.
