In HTML and XML, a numeric character reference refers to a character by its Universal Character Set/Unicode code point, and uses the format: &#xhhhh;. or &#nnnn; where the x must be lowercase in XML documents, hhhh is the code point in hexadecimal form, and nnnn is the code point in decimal form.
Its semantics and HTML implementation are similar to the soft hyphen, but soft hyphens display a hyphen character at the point where the line is broken. The zero-width space can be used to mark word breaks in languages without visible space between words, such as Thai , Myanmar , Khmer , and Japanese .
[10] In caret notation the null character is ^@. On some keyboards, one can enter a null character by holding down Ctrl and pressing @ (on US layouts just Ctrl+2 will often work, there being no need for ⇧ Shift to get the @ sign). The Hexadecimal notation for null is 00. Decoding the Base64 string AA== also yields the null character.
A numeric character reference (NCR) is a common markup construct used in SGML and SGML-derived markup languages such as HTML and XML. It consists of a short sequence of characters that, in turn, represents a single character. Since WebSgml, XML and HTML 4, the code points of the Universal Character Set (UCS) of Unicode are used.
HTML 4 is an SGML application conforming to ISO 8879 – SGML. [20] April 24, 1998 HTML 4.0 [21] was reissued with minor edits without incrementing the version number. December 24, 1999 HTML 4.01 [22] was published as a W3C Recommendation. It offers the same three variations as HTML 4.0 and its last errata [23] were published on May 12, 2001 ...
The table below lists the twenty-five characters defined as whitespace ("WSpace=Y", "WS") characters in the Unicode Character Database. [1] Seventeen use a definition of whitespace consistent with the algorithm for bidirectional writing ("Bidirectional Character Type=WS") and are known as "Bidi-WS" characters.
In web page design, and generally for all markup languages such as SGML, HTML, and XML, a well-formed element is one that is either a) opened and subsequently closed, or b) an empty element, which in that case must be terminated; and in either case which is properly nested so that it does not overlap with other elements.
A general entity can only be referenced within the document content. A parameter entity can only be referenced within the document type definition (DTD). Entities are also further classified as parsed or unparsed: A parsed entity contains text, which will be incorporated into the document and parsed if the entity is referenced. A parameter ...
