+
+JSX looks like HTML but there are some important differences you may run into.
+
+## Whitespace removal
+
+JSX doesn't follow the same whitespace elimination rules as HTML. JSX removes all the whitespaces between two curly braces expressions. If you want to have a white space, a work-around is to add `{' '}`.
+
+```javascript
+<div>{this.props.name} {' '} {this.props.surname}</div>
+```
+
+This behavior is still being debated. Follow [Issue #65](https://github.com/facebook/react/issues/65) to be updated on the situation.
+
+## HTML Entities
+
+You can insert HTML entities within literal text in JSX:
+
+```javascript
+<div>First &middot; Second</div>
+```
+
+If you want to display an HTML entity within a dynamic content, you will run into double escaping issues as React escapes all the strings you are displaying in order to prevent a wide range of XSS attacks by default.
+
+```javascript
+// Bad: It displays "First &middot; Second"
+<div>{'First &middot; Second'}</div>
+```
+
+There are various ways to work-around this issue. The easiest one is to write unicode character directly in Javascript. You've got to make sure that the file is saved as UTF-8 and that the propers UTF-8 directives are set so the browser will display it correctly.
+
+```javascript
+<div>{'First · Second'}</div>
+```
+
+A safer alternative is to find the <a href="http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/b7/index.htm">unicode number corresponding to the entity</a> and use it inside of a Javascript string.
+
+```javascript
+<div>{'First \u00b7 Second'}</div>
+<div>{'First ' + String.fromCharCode(183) + ' Second'}</div>
+```
+
+You can use mixed arrays with strings and JSX elements.
+
+```javascript
+<div>{['First ', <span>&middot;</span>, ' Second']}</div>
+```
+
+In last resort, you always have the ability to insert raw HTML inside of the div.
+
+```javascript
+<div dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{'{{'}}__html: 'First &middot; Second'}} />
+```
+
+## Comments
+
+JSX supports both single-line and multi-lines Javascript comments within a tag declaration:
+
+```javascript
+<div // This is a single line comment:
+    /*
+        And a multiline
+        comment
+    */
+/>
+```
+
+As of React 0.3, there is no good way to insert comments within the children section. [Issue #82](https://github.com/facebook/react/issues/82) is tracking progress to enable the following way to write comments:
+
+```javascript
+// Note: The following is not implemented yet!
+<div>
+  {/* This is a comment */}
+</div>
+```
+
+## Custom HTML attributes
+
+If you pass properties to native HTML elements that do not exist in the HTML specification, React will not render them. If you want to use a custom attribute, you should prefix it with `data-`.
+
+```javascript
+<div data-custom-attribute="foo" />
+```
+
+[Web Accessibility](http://www.w3.org/WAI/intro/aria) attributes starting with `aria-` will be rendered properly.
+
+```javascript
+<div aria-hidden={true} />
+```
