Frequently Asked Questions

Why encode HTML entities?

Encoding prevents browsers from interpreting special characters as HTML markup. This is crucial for security (preventing XSS) and displaying code correctly.

What's the difference between named and numeric entities?

Named entities like &amp; are readable but limited. Numeric entities like &#38; can represent any Unicode character.
