Sometimes you will need to use some less than ordinary characters in the content of your webpages. This is where HTML entities come in.
HTML entity | Displays | Symbol |
---|---|---|
& | & | ampersand |
| non-breaking space | |
© | © | copyright symbol |
> | > | greater-than symbol |
< | < | less-than symbol |
— | — | em-dash |
¶ | ¶ | pilcrow |
You should use them where appropriate in your HTML. Remember: there are a couple of extra marks in the PAT rubric for using HTML tags outside of the curriculum!
