About HTML Encoding

HTML encoding converts special characters that have meaning in HTML into their entity equivalents. This prevents browsers from interpreting them as HTML tags. For example, < becomes &lt; so it displays as a literal less-than sign rather than the start of a tag. This is essential for preventing XSS (Cross-Site Scripting) attacks when displaying user-generated content.
