When to Use HTML Entities

🔒 Security (XSS Prevention)

Always encode user input before displaying it in HTML to prevent Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks. Convert <script> to &lt;script&gt;.

📝 Displaying Code

When showing HTML, CSS, or JavaScript code on a webpage, encode the tags so they display as text rather than being rendered.

📄 HTML Attributes

Use &quot; for quotes in attribute values and &amp; when an ampersand appears in your content.

💻 Web Development

Essential for CMS templates, forum posts, comment systems, and anywhere users can enter text that gets displayed publicly.
