Summary of information in the tables:
WHAT YOU CAN TYPE:
All Latin1 characters display and print as expected. This group includes all normal "English - US" keyboard characters. (The soft hyphen does not show a result if typed alone, but this is the intended behavior.)
Three normal keyboard characters have special meanings in html, and should always be coded. These three are:
& for which you can type & to display the character. < for which you type < to display the character. > for which you type > to display the character.
A fourth normal keyboard character, ", can have special meaning. It may normally be simply typed in text, but you may prefer to code it in text as " to avoid those rare instances when it "misbehaves."
