Appendix A -- Entity References Test Document

This document lists the entity references defined in HTML 2.0 and HTML 3.2, and also attempts to use these references to address the associated character. You can use this document to test a browser's support of these entity references.

All these entities reference characters from the ISO Latin-1 character set. This HTML documentation collection contains another document that lists all the ISO Latin-1 characters, along with the character's decimal and octal code positions and the associated entity references (where defined).

NOTE: Additional Entities in HTML 4.0/XHTML 1.0
Additional entities were defined in later versions of HTML (and XHTML), and are supported by the latest browsers (Mozilla/Navigator 6, Internet Explorer 5). For information about these new entities, please see the Entity References online supporting material from The XHTML 1.0 Language and Design Sourcebook -- this material includes a detailed list of all the new entities.
