An HTML-encoded string.

Remarks

An HTML document consists of text and control characters. Control characters cannot be displayed directly unless they are HTML-encoded.

For example, to display the character < (less than sign) in your HTML document, you must use the character sequence <. Otherwise, it will be interpreted as the beginning of an HTML tag.

< to <
> to >
& to &
" to "
