How can one safely handle special characters and HTML tags when generating PDFs with FPDF in PHP?

Special characters and HTML tags can cause issues when generating PDFs with FPDF in PHP. To safely handle them, you can use the `htmlspecialchars()` function to escape special characters and prevent HTML tags from being interpreted as formatting instructions. This ensures that the content is displayed correctly in the PDF without any unexpected behavior.
