Don't quite understand the use of class "breadcrumb" and "note-designer"

I have gone over the video several times but Randy did not explain why he declare classes breadcrumb and note-designer in the html section of shirt.php. In addition, when can I use these classes?

Also why does Randy put "&gt" inside the anchor line of breadcrumb class? What does &gt mean? Thanks!

Hey Jason,

If I remember correctly, the "breadcrumb" & "note-designer" classes are CSS classes that the designer (the person that designed the layout, CSS, HTML) declared beforehand.

Also, > is a HTML Escape Character that renders as the > sign. Here's a pretty exhaustive list of all the possible HTLM Escape Characters.
