Answers to Questions (FAQ)
What is HTML Escaping? (Definition)
HTML Escape (or HTML Entities Encoding) is the name given to the technique that allows you to display HTML code inside an HTML code. The basic principle is to encode the characters < and > and the apostrophe ' so that they are no longer considered as tags.
Example: < is coded <
HTML codes start with & (ampersand) and end with ; (semicolon)
Why encoding more HTML characters?
In the emergence of HTML, character encoding standards such as UTF-8 were not yet sufficiently developed and non-ASCII characters (beyond 127 and from ISO-8859-1) were generally problematic. One solution was to encode them in HTML.
Unicode characters are coded either � where 0000 is the hexadecimal Unicode code of the character or � where 0000 is the decimal Unicode code of the character.
Example: ¤ for ¤
