The way I heard it is that there are browsers that do not recognise the
"letter" kind and there are browsers that do not recognise the "number"
kind. The latest versions of the most common browsers do recognise both.
I'd suggest using the "letter" kind because it's easier to remember that
"lt" is short for "less than" than it is to remember that the ascii
character '<' corresponds to the number "60".

It's not *wrong* to "encode" the  >  character, but it's not absolutely
*necessary* either. What *is* necessary though is to have the  # 
character there... (and the semicolon)

Replace character        with     or with
           &             &amp;       &#38;
           <             &lt;        &#60;

If you use the "find-and-replace" function in your text editor you
should remember to do the  &  before the  <  (or you might end up with
&amp;lt;  which is not what you want...).

Or you could write a little program that does all of that for you. I
made one and put it online here:

http://www.ludd.luth.se/users/vk/cgi/ASCII-to-HTML/

Just copy the image into the text box and hit the "convert" button (you
can't miss!).
