The following document was very useful: https://github.com/facebook/react/blob/v15.4.0-rc.3/docs/docs/02.3-jsx-gotchas.md#html-entities
However, it seems to have disappeared entirely in #7878 and v15.4.0, with no replacement.
I can't find anywhere in the current documentation that explains how and why React escapes HTML passed in by default. I was trying to explain this to someone today, and right now, it seems like this is something you "just have to know".
The other section about custom HTML attributes seems useful too.
