<p>Colors may also be specified as a color value in the form "#RRGGBB", where <VAR>RR</VAR>,
|
|
<VAR>GG</VAR>, and <VAR>BB</VAR> represent color intensity values for red, green, and blue,
|
|
respectively, as hexadecimal values from 00 to FF (decimal 0 to 255). For example, the color
|
|
"red" in the table above may also be represented as "#FF0000". In this color example, red
|
|
is set to its highest possible value (hex FF, decimal 255), while green and blue are set to 0.</p>
|
|
<p>Although red-green-blue color values theoretically allow for many thousands of colors,
|
|
the actual number of colors available depends on the color capabilities of the devices the
|
|
document will be viewed on. Many personal computers can display only 16 colors due to the
|
|
type of video display adapter they use.</p><hr/>

<a name="chars"><h3>Special Characters</h3></a>
|
|
<p>In HTML, certain special characters may be written as &<VAR>name</VAR>;, where
|
|
<VAR>name</VAR> is a symbolic name. The most important of these are &lt; (the less-than
|
|
sign, or <), &gt; (the greater-than sign, or >), and &amp; (the ampersand
|
|
itself, or &). These allow you to use characters normally used by HTML to indicate
|
|
formatting commands.</p>
|
|
<p>In addition, special characters may be written as &#<VAR>nnn</VAR>;, where <VAR>nnn</VAR>
|
|
is a decimal character code in the document's character set (usually the ISO Latin-1 character
|
|
set).</p>
|
|
<p>Here follows a listing of additional special characters in HTML. (<STRONG>NOTE:</STRONG>
