RE: [WSG] Less than and greater than in UTF-8 encoded HTML
and and should always be written as entities because they will interfere with the syntax otherwise. (And sometimes ). On the other hand, utf-8 should allow you to use actual characters for every other character you are likely to want to include in your content, and doing so is recommended. See http://www.w3.org/International/questions/qa-escapes Note that lt; gt; and amp; will always be recognised in HTML and XML, but there may be occasions when other entities are not recognised, so you may want to consider using NCRs (numeric character references) instead. This is explained in the article above. Btw, the latest incarnation of my Unicode code converter http://rishida.net/scripts/uniview/conversion allows you to do 2 useful things in this regard: [1] paste some HTML into the top right field and in the top left field it will strip ncrs/entities apart fromand from the HTML text [2] paste some HTML into the top left field and in the top right field it will convert all and characters to entities - very useful for preparing examples of code in HTML.

Re: [WSG] Less than and greater than in UTF-8 encoded HTML
Hi Simon, You should use HTML entities to encode those characters. You can view a list of those entities here : http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/sgml/entities.html But to answer your question quickly, should be written as gt;, and as lt;.
