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!
