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

Latin 1 entity set, along with its name, syntax for use, and description.
