HTML 4.0 Special Entities

[Bryan Brenneman]

Just thought I would pass this along. For anyone who ever wishes to display the format of what html code should look like rather than adding periods or reversing brackets, etc. . , you can see a list of special characters here.

Also, for reference "[" and "]" can be justified as such:
[ is [
] is ]

For example to show how to link a url in html:
<A href="https://www.turbodieselregister.com">Turbo Diesel Register</A>

If this were copied and pasted, it would produce:
Turbo Diesel Register


Or a picture in UBB code:
#ad

If this were copied and posted, this would produce:


#ad



Of course I can only hope this displays as I intended. I was only able to test this in IE 5. 0 and Netscape 4. 7 But it did work OK in those browsers. #ad

Kevin, your welcome. I just thought this would help the people who try to help someone else accomplish something that is new to them. I think a clearly visible example that is specific to the "trainee", is better than suggesting to them: "click edit on my post. "

I guess I could show the code used to display the above samples. The html link would have to be typed into the posting box as:

<A href="https://www.turbodieselregister.com">Turbo Diesel Register</A>

which when posted, produces:
<A href="https://www.turbodieselregister.com">Turbo Diesel Register</A>

The img link would be typed as:
[img]https://www.turbodieselregister.com/ubb//TDRoundtable.gif[/img]

which when posted produces:
#ad


FYI, clicking edit on either of these posts will not show how this was done. This is one of those times where the UBB software doesn't return what was originally typed.
