* **Note:** No other characters are escaped. To escape additional | |
* characters use a third-party library like [_he_](https://mths.be/he). | |

* Though the ">" character is escaped for symmetry, characters like | |
* ">" and "/" don't need escaping in HTML and have no special meaning | |
* unless they're part of a tag or unquoted attribute value. See | |
* [Mathias Bynens's article](https://mathiasbynens.be/notes/ambiguous-ampersands) | |
* (under "semi-related fun fact") for more details. | |

* When working with HTML you should always | |
* [quote attribute values](http://wonko.com/post/html-escaping) to reduce | |
* XSS vectors. | |
