Escaping in HTML

I was writing a bunch of HTML the other day and I needed to escape an ampersand (&).

Some characters are reserved in XHTML; for example you cannot use the greater than or less than signs or angle brackets within your text beacuse the browser could mistake them for markup.

I needed to refer back a few times so I thought I would share the resource I found:
