phrase markup:character enties
Some commonly used symbols are translated to HTML character entities: -
(hyphen or dash), --
(em-dash), <
(less than), >
(greater than), and &
(ampersand).
Explicit character entities like –
(dash) and ♥
(♥) are recognized and not translated.
A few constructs inside (
and )
are translated as well, for example: (c)
becomes ©.
Other variants of Textile provide extensive translation of (c)
type symbols. Xilize handles only three common ones and takes the approach that ♥
is as easy to remember or lookup as (hearts)
. See the Xilize links for web authors for a complete list symbols and their names.
