Briefly describe the character set that is used as part of HTML.  How does this character set relate to character entities?  What are numeric entities?  Is it important to know which character and numeric entities correspond to which characters?

What will be an ideal response?


The characters that can be used as part of HTML are limited to a set called the standard ASCII character set. (This is the same set of characters you see on the keys of your keyboard.)

Characters outside this set as well as certain characters that are reserved for code (such as <, &, or ") are replaced with a character entity in the HTML code. For example, when you type & in Design view, Expression Web inserts the character entity & into the HTML code. The browser then interprets the character entity and displays it as an ampersand.

Many characters also have equivalent numeric entities that yield the same results. A nonbreaking space, for example, can be written as   or  .

You do not need to know which character entries or numeric entries correspond to which characters, because Expression Web automatically converts them.
