HTML5 File API aspect provides an API for representing file objects in web applications and programmatic selection and accessing their data. In addition, this specification defines objects to be used within threaded web applications for the synchronous reading of files.
By contrast, a character entity reference refers to a sequence of one or more characters by the name of an entity which has the desired characters as its replacement text. The entity must either be predefined (built into the markup language), or otherwise explicitly declared in a Document Type Definition (DTD) (see [a]). The format is the same ...

[1] The available "tags" of BBCode are usually indicated by square brackets ([and ]) surrounding a keyword, and are parsed before being translated into HTML.
The included document can itself be another SSI-enabled file. The file or virtual parameters specify the file (HTML page, text file, script, etc.) to be included. NCSA HTTPd did not support CGI via include, [2] but later Apache HTTPd does. [7] If the process does not have access to read the file or execute the script, the include will fail.
