What are HTML Entities?

HTML entities are special codes used to display reserved characters or symbols in HTML. They prevent browsers from interpreting characters as HTML code.

Common Use Cases:

Displaying HTML tags as text (showing <div> instead of rendering it)
Preventing XSS (Cross-Site Scripting) attacks
Handling quotes in HTML attributes

Common HTML Entities:

Character	Named Entity	Numeric
<	<	<
>	>	>
&	&	&
"	"	"
'	'	'
©	©	©
®	®	®
€	€	€
Space

Example:

Original:
<div class="example">Hello & Welcome</div>

Named Entities:
&lt;div class=&quot;example&quot;&gt;Hello &amp; Welcome&lt;/div&gt;

Numeric Entities:
&#60;div class=&#34;example&#34;&#62;Hello &#38; Welcome&#60;/div&#62;
