Frequently asked questions
What is an HTML entity?
An HTML entity is a code like < or & that represents a reserved character (such as < or &) so it displays as text instead of being interpreted as markup.
Why encode HTML?
Encoding reserved characters lets you show code or user input safely on a page without it being parsed as HTML, which also helps prevent cross-site scripting.
