This is the mystery monster code that code makers make to make you shudder 
in mystery.
Anything between the & and the ; constitutes a code that will do something.

AND YOU DID PUT THEM THERE!

HTML will not allow more than one space between characters, and any extra 
ones will be discarded by the BROWSER that interprets and presents your 
code to your readers.

Since you wanted spaces there, your code generator put *this* code in place 
of your spaces in order to force the reader's browser to do your biding.
