Character Entity Sets
This section is undergoing revision ...
In particular, we need to add a more complete list of character entities, e.g. for the characters below decimal 128 and missing codes such as currency signs.
The following entity names are used in HTML, always prefixed by ampersand (&) and followed by a semicolon as shown.
They represent particular graphic characters which have special meanings in places in the markup, or may not be part of the character set available to the writer.
Numeric and Special Graphic Entities
The following table lists each of the supported characters specified in the Numeric and Special Graphic entity set, along with its name, syntax for use, and description.
This list is derived from "ISO 8879:1986//ENTITIES Numeric and Special Graphic//EN" however HTML does not provide support for the entire entity set. Only the entities listed below are supported.
| Name | Syntax | Description |
|---|---|---|
| lt | < | Less than sign |
| gt | > | Greater than sign |
| amp | & | Ampersand |
| quot | " | Double quote sign |
ISO Latin 1 Character Entities
The following table lists each of the characters specified in the Added Latin 1 entity set, along with its name, syntax for use, and description.
This list is derived from "ISO 8879:1986//ENTITIES Added Latin 1//EN", and HTML does provide support for the entire entity set.
