Character Description	You Type	You Get
Ampersand	`&`	&
Greater than	`>`	>
Less than	`<`	<
Quotation mark	`"`	"

Lines and paragraphs are automatically recognized. The line break, paragraph and close paragraph tags are inserted automatically. If paragraphs are not recognized simply add a couple blank lines.
