HTML and CSS Reference
In-Depth Information
On Dave's Web page, you decide to use the bullet symbol ( • ) to break up the
address text into sections. The symbol has a character encoding number of 8226 and the
character entity reference name
bull
. Dave suggests that you also add a long horizontal
line known as an em-dash ( — ) to mark the customer names in the customer comments
section. The character encoding number for an em-dash is 8212 and the entity reference
is
mdash
.
To add bullets and an em-dash to Dave's Web page:
◗
1.
Return to the
jprop.htm
file in your text editor.
◗
2.
Locate the customer comment from Thomas Gage, and then directly before the
opening <cite> tag insert the character code
—
;
followed by a space.
◗
3.
Repeat Step 2 for the two remaining customer comments.
◗
Always include a semi-
colon so that browsers
recognize the entry as a
character code.
4.
Scroll down to the
address
element within the page footer. At the end of each
line within the address (except the last line), insert a space followed by the
•
character entity. Figure 1-45 highlights the revised code in the Web page.
