Display Character Entities
Notice: This plugin is unmaintained and available for adoption.
Description
This is a macro that when inserted into a wiki page or ticket displays a character entity. It returns HTML 4.01 numeric character entity references from their corresponding names.
The character entity data is straight out of the DTD for HTML 4.01, so if there are errors or omissions, please refer to the W3C.
See: Character entity references in HTML 4 for more information.
Calling the macro like so: [[Entity(name)]] returns the value. If no name matches, it returns an empty string. Names are case-sensitive, in other words, aacute is not the same code point as Aacute. Keyword syntax is also supported: [[Entity(name=name)]].
The macro can be used in any wiki formatted page:
[[Entity(raquo)]] [[Entity(name=raquo)]]
Both of these examples will return », the guillemet ».
Also see the WikiGoodiesPlugin, which supports smileys, HTML 4.0 entities (named entities and numerical entities), automatic replacement of common text idioms by their corresponding symbols, such as arrows, fractions, etc.
