Character Entities

As with any syntactic language, WML has certain characters that have special meaning. The two
most obvious of these characters are the < and > symbols, which surround all tags. These
characters cannot be typed in directly if the designer's intent is to display these characters. Thus,
all characters that can be displayed in a web browser have numeric values assigned to them. The
numeric values are entered into the source web page as &#nnn; where nnn is a three-digit value.
For example, the < symbol is entered as '&#060;'.
In addition, many of these characters also have names assigned. Name values are entered into
the source web page as &name; where name is the WML name associated with this character. For
example, the < symbol would be entered as '&lt;'. The set of characters defined by the World Wide
Web Consortium are fully supported in the 4620 browser in conformance with the standard.
