What are HTML Entities?
HTML entities are special characters used to display reserved characters in HTML that would otherwise be interpreted as code. They start with an ampersand (&) and end with a semicolon (;).
Common Use Cases:
- Displaying HTML code snippets on web pages without rendering
- Preventing XSS (Cross-Site Scripting) attacks by escaping user input
- Displaying special symbols (©, ®, ™, €, £, ¥) in web content
- Safely embedding code examples in documentation
Common HTML Entities:
| Character | Entity Name | Entity Number | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| & | & | & | Ampersand |
| < | < | < | Less than |
| > | > | > | Greater than |
| " | " | " | Double quote |
| ' | ' | ' | Single quote |
