Overview

In HTML/CSS there are specific entities that can be placed via code. This is a list of some of the most used HTML entities and their CSS equivalents.

Occasionally, you can get away with just typing the symbol, but quite often, so as not to break the HTML or to get something not on the keyboard, the entity is placed via code. This can be done either with the HTML code (most commonly used) or HTML numeric.

Both of the following will display the © sign.

HTML Notes:

  • In our HTML section the term “tag” and “element” are often used interchangeably to refer to both the tag used to create a page element and the element created by the tag (<p> tag = <p> element = paragraph on the page)
  • HTML5 is not case sensitive; so <P> is the same as <p>, <H1> is the same as <h1>
  • Global attributes can be used with all HTML tags and are therefore not mentioned on every tag page
  • To write clean, readable HTML code, it is best to use indentation whereas elements within elements are indented (tabbed or spaces) to create something that looks like a project outline
  • The browser will automatically remove any extra spaces and lines in your HTML code when the page is displayed
  • Double quotes or single quotes can be used around HTML attribute values, but when the attribute value itself contains one form of quote, it will be necessary to use the other around the attribute
