HTML Entities

Some characters are reserved in HTML. If you use the less than (<) or greater than (>) signs in your text, the browser might mix them with tags. Character entities are used to display reserved characters in HTML. Reserved characters in HTML must be replaced with character entities. Characters that are not present on your keyboard can also be replaced by entities.
