Is It Necessary To Html Encode Right Angle Brackets?

I'm adding some meta description data to my header like so: HtmlMeta meta = new HtmlMeta(); meta.Name = 'description'; meta.Content = description; // this is unencoded page.Header.

Solution 1:

According to the XML specification > is indeed valid for attributes. Only <, & and " or ' need escaping.

[10]    AttValue    ::=    '"' ([^<&"] | Reference)* '"'
                         | "'" ([^<&'] | Reference)* "'"
