Use & < and >
All other characters should be actual characters.
Use a character encoding that contains all the characters you require.
Use of NCRs and other entities should be rare occurances for language
challenged environments.

Hello,
I am looking for advice on if the best way to code for special characters is to
use the actual character or the attribute value or the alt code?
i.e. for the ampersand should one use & or &? Does it matter? I know that
Dreamweaver automates some of this but what is the best practice?
Thank you
kevin
