Using special characters in HTML

For a correct display of special characters and symbols in your (HTML) code, you need to use special code in your source.

An example: a link can be created like this:

<a href="#">linkname &rsaquo;&rsaquo;</a>

this will be rendered in a webpage like this:
linkname ››

An other example: © 2011
looks like this in code:

&copy; 2011
