Characters that do not appear on the keyboard (i.e. those with values
above 126) can be coded in HTML documents as
&#nnn
where nnn is the character value from the preceding table. Use leading
zeroes to represent two-digit values as three digits.
This technique is frequently used to display HTML tags on web pages. For
example, the HTML code for creating a link to Clive's Bulgar Ewe News is
<A HREF="http://www.angelfire.com/ar2/bugariu">Clive's Place</A>
which will appear on the page as
Clive's Place.
All that's necessary to prevent the browser from interpreting an HTML tag
is to code the opening bracket as <.
On the Web
Certain characters that have special meaning to web browsers can
be coded using special synonyms. Here are some examples:
| < |
is |
< |
| > |
is |
> |
| & |
is |
& |
(And don't forget that semicolon!)
|
|
ISO-8859 is a superset of the American Standard Code
for Information Interchange. The character table is
