Introduction
This article details the Latin-1 character references
and corresponding entity references available to your
XHTML 1.0 documents. This is the first of a series
of three articles detailing each of the three sets
laid out in the XHTML DTDs.
An explanation of character references will be given
in part two of my article XHTML Web Design for Beginners.
I decided to release these tables as separate articles
in order to make them easily accessible to those who
don't want to read the series.
What the columns mean
The first column gives the named version of the entity,
the second is the named entity itself. This allows
you to see if that character reference works in the
browser you are using to view this document via the
named entity.
The third column gives the numeric entity, the fourth
is the numeric entity itself. This allows you to see
if that character reference works in the browser you
are using to view this document via the numeric entity.
The fifth column is the description of the entity
as found in the XHTML 1.0 DTDs at http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/dtds.html#a_dtd_Latin-1_characters.
