Hi there! I received your request for assistance. You are replacing the ampersand with a the html entity for a <. The lt stands for "less than". And you are replacing the copyright symbol with the html entity for the >. The gt stands for greater than. The symbols should be replaced with their corresponding HTML entities.

You can find a list of the entities and their corresponding symbols in this documentation.

Hope this helps! :sparkles:
