SPECIAL CHARACTERS [ENTITIES)


DEFINITION LETTERS AND NUMERALS Dollar sign &#36;
Character entities are case sensitive combinatio ns of letters Percent sign &#37;
A &#65; a &#97; 0 &#48;
and numbers that represent a specific character or letter.
B &#66; b &#98; &#49; Ampersand & &#38; &amp;
For example, &reg; and &#174; both represent the registered
trade mark symbol, . Every character in the ISO 8859 Latin 1 c &#67; &#99; &#50; Apostrophe &#39;
Character Set has a numeric reference li ke &#174;, but only cer- D &#68; d &#100; &#51; Parenthesis (left) &#40;
tain characters have character references like &reg;. &#69; e &#101; 4 &#52; Parenthesis (right) &#41;
F &#70; &#102; 5 &#53; Asterisk &#42;
G &#71; g &#103; 6 &#54; Pius sign + &#43;
1. Inserting special characters: Entities may be used to insert
H &#72; h &#104; 7 &#55; Comma &#44;
special characte rs into your Web page. For example, if you
want to represent an amount of money using the Pound (), t &#73; &#105; 8 &#56; Hyphen/minus sign &#45;
you cou ld use either a character entity or numeric entity to &#74; i &#106; 9 &#57; Period &#46;
represent t he pound symbol: K &#75; k &#107; Stash &#47;
<:p>Item pri.ce : &pound;2.5<1p> Colon &#58;
L &#76; &#108;
or
M &#77; m &#109; Semicolon &#59;
<:p>Item pri.ce : &#163;2. 5</p>.
In either case, the text will display: Item price: 2.5 . N &#78; &#110; less than < &#60; &It;
2. Escaping out characters : Some characters, such as the "less 0 &#79; 0 &#111 ; Equal sign &#61;
than" and "greater than" signs, can cause problems with &#80; Greater than > &#62; &gt;
p p &#112;
your pages if you simply type them in from the keyboard.
Q &#81; q &#113; Question mark &#63;
This is because a browser might co nfuse those characters
with HTML, css, or Javascript code. To avoid this problem, R &#82; &#114; Commercial ..at.. sign @ &#64;
you need to escape out those characters by using entities. s &#83; &#115; Square bracket lleftl &#91;
For example, if you are designing an HTML tutorial page and T &#84; &#116; Backslash &#92;
wish to represent the <table> tag, you would need to write Square bracket Iright) &#93;
