When you write, you should change any "&" characters to "&amp;" and any 
"<" characters to "&lt;"
In many cases you can get away without doing this-- browsers will not 
treat these characters as special if they are followed by a spaces, for 
example, but it's good practice to do it always.
For example,
<html>
<head><title>test</title></head>
<body>
<pre>
Is A<B or is A>B?
</pre>
</body>
</html>
will display as
Is AB?
with the B and ? in bold

Also, if you ever have non-ASCII character data, you have to worry about 
character set issues--translating to latin-1 or utf-8.
We've been surprised a couple of time that our data entry have entered 
names like MUŅOZ
