Special Characters

HTML ASCII Characters

Several HTML ASCII characters can be created in our documentation with Creole Wiki by using the <<entity>> macro. Just type the entity name, without the leading '&' and trailing ';'. For example, to create an em-dash you would enter <<entity>>mdash<</entity>>.

Below is a list characters that are allowed in Creole Wiki, along with their HTML equivalent and how to format them in Creole Wiki:
