Special characters

Below is a comprehensive listing of each of the syntax commands to enter extended or special characters into your HTML. For example, if you wanted to display a greater than sign on your web page instead of having the web page attempt to use it as code you would enter &gt; into your HTML code instead of simply typing the <.

If you're looking for additional information about entering any of these special characters or symbols into Microsoft Word see document CH000657.
