  2. List of XML and HTML character entity references - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_XML_and_HTML...

    In SGML, HTML and XML documents, the logical constructs known as character data and attribute values consist of sequences of characters, in which each character can manifest directly (representing itself), or can be represented by a series of characters called a character reference, of which there are two types: a numeric character reference and a character entity reference.

  3. Character encodings in HTML - Wikipedia

    Incorrect HTML entity escaping may also open up security vulnerabilities for injection attacks such as cross-site scripting. If HTML attributes are left unquoted, certain characters, most importantly whitespace, such as space and tab, must be escaped using entities. Other languages related to HTML have their own methods of escaping characters.

  4. Unicode and HTML - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode_and_HTML

    In HTML 4, there is a standard set of 252 named character entities for characters - some common, some obscure - that are either not found in certain character encodings or are markup sensitive in some contexts (for example angle brackets and quotation marks). Although any Unicode character can be referenced by its numeric code point, some HTML ...

  5. List of Unicode characters - Wikipedia

    The format is the same as for any entity reference: &name; where name is the case-sensitive name of the entity. The semicolon is required. Because numbers are harder for humans to remember than names, character entity references are most often written by humans, while numeric character references are most often produced by computer programs.

  6. Numeric character reference - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numeric_character_reference

    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.

  7. Non-breaking space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-breaking_space

    A second common application of non-breaking spaces is in plain text file formats such as SGML, HTML, TeX and LaTeX, whose rendering engines are programmed to treat sequences of whitespace characters (space, newline, tab, form feed, etc.) as if they were a single character (but this behavior can be overridden).

  8. Talk : List of XML and HTML character entity references

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:List_of_XML_and_HTML...

    But which set of entities? In particular, HTML5 doesn't indicate the DTD to be used (it's implicit, by defined HTML5 behaviour outside the normal XML or SGML parsing models). Clearly (by observation), Mediawiki passes HTML 4 entities through as entities but anything else (including HTML5 entities) are &ampersand; escaped.

  9. Whitespace character - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whitespace_character

    A whitespace character is a character data element that represents white space when text is rendered for display by a computer.. For example, a space character (U+0020 SPACE, ASCII 32) represents blank space such as a word divider in a Western script.
