HTML Tutorial - HTML Entities

Some of the characters are reserved in HTML and XHTML.

The usage of less than (<) and greater than (>) can not be used in html, since the browser will mistake them for html Tags.

For using the less than (<) need to use laternative HTML Entity Name "&lt;" or HTML Entity Number "&#60;".

For using the greater than (>) need to use laternative HTML Entity Name "&gt;" or HTML Entity Number "&#62;".

For putting space in html we need to use the HTML Entity Name "&nbsp;" or HTML Entity Number "&#160;".
How many ever we use space character the browser will take only one space, need to use HTML Entity.
