This is needed in one case where you have data that needs to be HTML friendly for display but can be saved to a text file and downloaded by a user. In that case, it is really necessary because users typically won't even know that it is a character entity, never mind which one it is.David Rhoderick– David Rhoderick2016-03-04 14:43:50 +00:00Commented Mar 4, 2016 at 14:43

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. python-3.x), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
