Why HTML entity encoding is useful
Some characters have special meaning in HTML, which means they should be encoded when you want them displayed as literal text rather than interpreted as markup. HTML entities provide a safe representation for those characters in many web-related workflows.
That makes entity encoding useful for templates, content systems, snippets, and any environment where raw characters could be misread as markup.
