| Accent Marks Sometime you may need to use a special character in an HTML document, an accent or diacritical mark. The ones that are recognized as known as ISO These special characters are marked in HTML as: where xxxx is the code name for the special character, and with #xxxx is the decimal equivalent of the name. Below is a large table listing all of the HTML code used for special chracters. If you can't see them, then your browser/system doesn't accept the ISO character set. Notice in the list,that   appear not to have a result, well it's result is a white space. There are also © and ® symbols available. It is of importance that each &xxx tag ends with a semi colon ; as the latest browsers understand this method. |

| You write the code as it is shown to give you the differing
characters, ie © gives you ©. It's just like typing in a
normal tag, but you don't have to include the < or > tags. An
important thing to note is that the code used to implement
these characters is Case Sensitive. What this means is
that thorn and THORN are two different characters, eg : þ = þ Just remember this when you are typing in any special commands. |
