I feel like whenever I see the ampersand on this website, it’s followed with “amp;”. I’ve noticed it other places on the internet also. Why does this happen? Is it some programming thing?

Just for a test: &

    Lol, ok there might be a little more than what meets the eye, cuz when i typed `&` it converted it to & !!

    test: &

    
    

    new challenge- try to get it to render a & instead of & inside of `` (or ``` ``` for bulk testing)

    tried:

    • `&`
    • `&`
    • `&`
    • `&;`
    • `&`
    • `÷` still becomes `÷` weirdly enough
