Special characters

HTML [ Hyper Text Markup Language ] requires that certain characters are used only for coding.
Mainly these :- ' " ', '&', '<', and '>';
It's best not to type these as text into your web page as they can cause whole chunks of text to disappear.

Some of these codes will not work with certain browsers.
Use this utility to check your browser for a fuller range of characters.
