Adding and editing special characters to Web Settings


    Use the following guidelines when adding new characters:

    • New characters must be W3C-specified characters that are supported by browsers.
    • GoLive for Mac OS doesn't display all characters. To preview such characters, you may have to launch a browser.
    • Characters specific to Mac OS can be added, but they won't display in browsers.

To add a special character:

  1. In the Characters tab of the Web Settings window, select an existing character or a category to which you want to add a character.
  2. Do one of the following:
    • To add a new character, click the New Enumeration button Characters tab on the toolbar or choose Add Entity from the context menu.
    • To duplicate a selected character, click the Duplicate button Duplicate Selected Items button .
  3. Select the new character, or copy and edit its properties in the Web Settings Entity Inspector:
    • Enter the HTML name of the new character in the Name text box.
    • Enter a description in the Comment text box.
    • Enter the ISO mnemonic code and its equivalent byte code in the ISO Code text boxes.
    • If there is a Mac OS equivalent, select Mac, and enter the mnemonic code and its equivalent byte code. Mac OS characters are displayed in the preview pane.
    • Select Write to write the adjacent text box into the document rather than the Name text box. Enter the character entity reference without the starting ampersand and closing semicolon.
