The columns are <DL COMPACT> <DT>1st:<DD>textual <EM>description</EM> of the character <DT>2nd:<DD>character inserted directly into the HTML page as <EM>one byte</EM> <DT>3rd:<DD>character written as <EM>numeric HTML entity</EM>, in the format:<BR>"how it looks literally" <CODE>--></CODE> "what your browser does with it" <DT>4th:<DD>character written as <EM>symbolic HTML entity</EM>, in the format:<BR>"how it looks literally" <CODE>--></CODE> "what your browser does with it" </DL> So for example, if you see something like "<CODE>&divide; --> &divide;</CODE>" in the 4th column, this means your browser doesn't know about the entity name "divide" and just puts it literally. <P> <STRONG>This table</STRONG> grew out of an overview of the "ISO Latin-1 Character Set" overview related to the Hyper-G Text Format (<A HREF="http://www.hyperwave.de/HTFdoc">HTF</A>). The entity names <CODE>&brkbar;</CODE> and <CODE>&Dstrok;</CODE> seem to be unique to HTF. The entity name <CODE>&hibar;</CODE> has been supported by X Mosaic but seems to be replaced with <CODE>&macr;</CODE>. The entity names <CODE>&uml;</CODE> and <CODE>&die;</CODE> should be equivalent. <P><STRONG>The standards stuff:</STRONG> The <A HREF="http://www.w3.org/hypertext/WWW/MarkUp/html-spec/">HTML 2.0 Standard</A> includes a section on <A HREF="http://www.w3.org/hypertext/WWW/MarkUp/html-spec/html-spec_9.html#SEC99">Character Entity Sets</A> and an overview on the <A HREF="http://www.w3.org/hypertext/WWW/MarkUp/html-spec/html-spec_13.html#SEC106">HTML Coded Character Set</A> (The entity names are derived from <A HREF="http://www.ucc.ie/info/net/isolat1.html">ISO 8879</A>). <BR> Or have a look at the <A HREF="http://www.w3.org/hypertext/WWW/MarkUp/html3/latin1.html">Latin-1 Character Entities</A> as listed in an draft for the <A HREF="http://www.w3.org/hypertext/WWW/MarkUp/html3/CoverPage.html">HTML 3.0 specification</A>. <BR> The <A HREF="http://www.w3.org/hypertext/WWW/MarkUp/HTMLPlus/htmlplus_59.html">Appendix II</A> of CERN's <A HREF="http://www.w3.org/hypertext/WWW/MarkUp/HTMLPlus/htmlplus_1.html">HTML+ Discussion Document</A> contains a <A HREF="http://www.w3.org/hypertext/WWW/MarkUp/HTMLPlus/htmlplus_table.ps">table</A> (in PostScript format) of the proposed character entities for HTML+ and their corresponding character codes for Unicode and the Adobe Latin-1 & Symbol character sets. <P> <STRONG>Please note</STRONG> that there is nothing wrong with using characters of ISO Latin-1 above 127: the normal transmission protocol for the WWW, <A HREF="http://www.w3.org/pub/WWW/Protocols/rfc1945/rfc1945">HTTP/1.0</A>, uses the 8bit ISO latin-1 as default encoding. (Thanks to Roman Czyborra for pointing this out!) <P> <STRONG>Other information:</STRONG> <UL> <LI><STRONG>Kevin J.
