Wonder how high ampersand codes go? The capital I above is 300, trying 400, Ɛ

Subject: RE: HTML practice : Shane MacGowan
From: Jon Freeman

Sorcha, I don't see any ampersand codes in your HTML but your 300 and 400 are showing on my IE browser but not on Netscape.

I don't know what the range is but computers typically blocks of bytes (8 bits) a single byte gives 2^8 = 256 (0 to 255) values, 2 bytes would be 2^16 = 65536.

Looking at the 2 browsers, I would guess that the range is 0-255. One method computers use in handling out of range numbers is to "wrap round", e.g. On a single byte, 256 would yeild 0, 257 yeilds 1, etc. Maybe IE does that and Netscape treats it as an error.

Subject: RE: HTML practice : Shane MacGowan
From: MudGuard

Jon, sorry, but I have to correct you. In HTML the & codes are two-byte-unicodes, so they go up to 65536 - though not all of the possible codes have a character defined.
And then there is also the problem that not every font has every character defined - most fonts only have latin characters.
But think of all the chinese, japanese, thai, sanskrit, cyrillic, greek... characters (apart from our latin characters).

Anyone know where I can find a chart to print out of what all of the codes are for special characters? I figured a few out, randomly, by pressing NumLock, Alt - 0 - and three numbers, as in Alt -0-169 to get this: ©

My software has a place where the codes are supposed to be, but they've never been there and I've been unable to find them elsewhere.

Thanks,

From: Snuffy

I think the &-codes are not standardised - different language sets use the same code for different characters, and different browsers interpret them differently.

This is why you often get funny characters in Gaelic lyric postings, especially from Loki. If you want a fada it's safer to post à (à) than a number code.


24 Mar 01 - 11:23 AM (#424858)
Subject: RE: HTML practice : Shane MacGowan
From: MudGuard

The unicode characters are standardized. The problems come from the high characters of the first page characters (128-255) which are codepage dependant. If a page uses characters from this range it needs a codeset specifier (which is often omitted --> problems) like:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">

Jon, I said sorry because I like you and I did not like proving you wrong ;-)

G'day Cat

I had to thinks about yer question and found meself with possibly far more infoblah than you require, I hope you don't mind if'n I divide it into two questions (Word & html) and then piggyback some other stuff here, I don't wanna 'teach grandma how to suck eggs' neither - but I got my own point to make and an agenda as well, both of which I'll come to d'rekly...

Do you want to know how to get these special characters onto something you are typing in Word, say - or are you wanting the html codes to use so that they will display correctly in a browser say, a Mudcat thread, thus: bodhrán. Two different animals, and I'll give yez the drum on how to do both.

Google found lotsa info on both Word and html special characters - but what I really think you were after in this instance is info on how to generate them on a key-board while typing in Word. In Windows/Microsoft it seems that they mostly (?all) are initiated by the Alt key, followed by four characters. If'n you are on a PC - you will also be able to access these Special Character Keystrokes from the accessory Character Map (Click START - then PROGRAMS - then ACCESSORIES - should be there somewhere.)

Go to START, click on FIND and type CHARMAP if'n it ain't where it should be and you get desperate...

Anyways, find your Character Map wherever it happens to be hidden on your particular machine and fire it up - it may help to know which font you are using in your Word Processor, then selecting and matching the font you are going to use from the fontlist in Character Map. This way you will can find the appropriately fontmatched special character.

By way of example: If you are typing in Timesblah in your word processor - it might be that ye'll get best results from the keyboard shortcut codes from the matching font - in this case Timesblah - get 'em on display on the Character Map. Click the desired special character from the table of all sortsa groovy characters, including the now almost legendary lower-case-a-with-an-acute-accent; and the Alt+blah codes desired will be displayed in the Character Map status bar - you can key 'em in at Word now that you know 'em, or cut and paste direct from Character Map to Word. You might wanna make a note of yer favourite Alt+blah codes till you memorize 'em, or just to keep handy, like.

You can also insert on your Word page the lower-case-a-with-an-acute-accent and all its' funky special character cousins by pulling down the 'Insert' menu - and looking for 'Symbol' - your mileage may vary.

Alt+0225 is the Word processor keyboard shortcut code for the fairly handy lower-case-a-with-accent-acute - á and

&-#-2-2-5 (without the hyphens) is the html code to display the extremely useful lower-case-a-with-accent-acute - in a browser - á.
For the first time I've just noticed that these numbers match -225- any officially smart person wanna comment on this phenomenon? But I digress...

As a shameless-player-of-the-bodhrán-in-public, can you see where I'm going with this fellow travellers?

Special Characters in Word Processing
Accents, Diacriticals and Special Language Characters for Foreign Languages

Special Characters on the web
Table of html codes

So, now you know. The next time one of you misses the lower-case-a-with-an-acute-accent in the name of that round drum thingy that I play, either in print or on the web - my Auntie will come 'around to your house, and she'll rip yer bloody arms orf, and she will, too...

Subject: RE: HTML practice : Shane MacGowan
From: MudGuard

aussiebloke, you got it almost right.

The character codes have to be finished with a semicolon. as in &#225; for á.

IE accepts the codes without the semicolon (as it accepts many things that don't have to do with HTML), but HTML demands the semicolon.

And as I stated before, what gets displayed for character codes between 128 and 255 depends on the encoding of the page.

For Microsoft Win 95/98 users (it may be on other systems - I don't know as I don't have one)

there is something called "Character Map" application - it may not be currently installed - try a search in your Find from the Start button - look for "character" or "map" or both words - I added a link to it that is in a convenient "text tools" submenu I added off the start menu.

but you can add it from your CD - go to
Control Panel - Add/remove programs - Windows setup

once it has indentified your existing setup - you can add or remove certain accessories from your Windows CD.

the tool allows you to specify the font, see all the characters in the font, and cut and paste them into any open window - including your browser text entry window, like here...

You formatted it correctly, I see by your code, and you can probably see it on your computer because YOU have the font IN YOUR COMPUTER. But this doesn't seem to be a commonplace font, so we can't see it because it isn't in any programs in our computers. Our computers are selecting to display the default font for the page.

Try it with a font I named above, one that is more likely to be in our computers so we can see that you've got it.

comic sans ms
garamond

tahoma

these are all commonplace.

I don't do this very often, so I just tried changing small things until it worked.

(I use 'different' fonts to make little signs I am going to print, or to control how I read web pages. In the menu settings of a browser, you can control which font(s) you see when you read Mudcat. This is different from the font you might specify for a particular post where you want others to see something like Comic Sans))

The browser will only display fonts that it knows about, so if you want a font to have a different appearance from the default font on most readers' screens, then play it safe and use the most common fonts. If you choose some way out look and someone without the font opens it, they may see an Arial or Times New Roman in its place.

Colored is relatively easy... moving text depends partly on the operating system.

21 May 10 - 04:42 PM (#2911535)
Subject: RE: HTML practice
From: Jack Campin

It seems to be dependent both on the browser reading it and on the software that processes submitted HTML.

<tt> should just change the font but not the formatting - things should get justified just as usual for HTML text. You don't want ABC justified. Mudcat inserts <br> linebreaks when within <tt> tags, which is non-standard but in this instance helpful.


X:1
T:Scholion of Seikilos
M:6/8
L:1/8
Q:3/8=44
K:AMix
Ae2 e3   |(cde) d3 |c2d e(dc)|cA2 (BG2) |
Ace d(cd)| cA2 (BG2)|AcB dec |AA2 A(FE)|]


<pre> should mean that what you enter gets reproduced with exactly the layout you typed, but on Mudcat it doesn't - each line gets prefixed with a space (which buggers up ABC). This is probably fixable at Mudcat's end. I can't imagine any reason why it might be a good idea, ever.


X:1
T:Scholion of Seikilos
M:6/8
L:1/8
Q:3/8=44
K:AMix
Ae2 e3   |(cde) d3 |c2d e(dc)|cA2 (BG2) |
Ace d(cd)| cA2 (BG2)|AcB dec |AA2 A(FE)|]


<code> sets Mudcat off on an orgy of converting spaces to &nbsp; codes. I can't imagine why.


X:1
T:Scholion of Seikilos
M:6/8
L:1/8
Q:3/8=44
K:AMix
Ae2 e3   |(cde) d3 |c2d e(dc)|cA2 (BG2) |
Ace d(cd)| cA2 (BG2)|AcB dec |AA2 A(FE)|]


So, for ABC the way I do it, <tt> looks like the best bet. (Look at the source for this page to see exactly what Mudcat's message-processing front end does).

I was led down this road by another board that doesn't support HTML in posts directly, but instead uses BBCode. In that environment, [code] ... [/code] works well (nothing else does), so it seemed worth trying the HTML equivalent here.

I'm thinking of creating a website where songwriters can sell downloads of their work. Does anyone know the best way to do this. I can do the download bit but how do I protect it so that buyers have to pay first?

Although I may have offended Awful I mean Arful - no it's Artful Codger in "his" thread, I've just posted a listing of "named entities" at Escapes that might be useful.

The named entities are those characters that can be posted in the form:

&name;

rather than by the character number (decimal) as:

&#nnn;

or by the character number (hex) as:

&#xhhhh;

There are some of these things that are easy to cut and paste. I dragged this little page to my toolbar in my browsers.

Lots of rectangles, but quite a few images also.

A very late reply but Fierefox gives a little box with the code in for "unk". Missing for me are:

269E-269F,
26BD-26BF,
26CD-2700,
2705,
270A-270B

The following characters from the Unicode "Miscellaneous Symbols" page, Hex Range 2600 - 26FF display correctly in the mudcat preview in my IE9 browser.
No other characters on that particular Unicode page are displayed (in preview in my browser).
First char is coded &#x2600;
Last displayed char is coded &#x267D;
Approximately a half dozen between those two also failed to show and were deleted.
Note that the ☐ (a blank square) is the glyph defined by the chart, and is not an "undefined char" marker.
