you have to replace all < with > and > by < so the browser won't parse them.<hr> = >hr<

Hi,You can use the innerText property exposed by the DOM to get the above output.

I thought you needed to use < and >Or is this just another way of doing it?

60 and 62 are the hex codes for those two characters, and you can display any hex character with xxx; where xxxx is the hex code. Several characters have named entities in addition, like © showing a copyright, & showing an ampersand, " showing a quote, etc.

Oh right, is that just to make them easier to remember?

It's mostly to make them standard. Different character encodings have different characters for the same hex values, but if you want a trademark symbol, no matter what the language is set to, ™ will always show that. The hex code might show a different character for a different language.
