Proposal: Additional character entities
The following is a set of character entity definitions
for characters that are not part of the "Added Latin 1"
character entities, but which are defined in the SGML
standard and can be rendered with the 8859/1 8-bit
single-byte coded graphic character set known as Latin 1.
This entity set should be included in the HTML 2.0 DTD.
This entity set should be included in the HTML 3.0 DTD.
Although these characters are not known to WWW browsers
by these names at the current time, they are mostly known
by numeric character reference.
A seperate document will soon be made available providing
a complete list of characters, numeric character references,
and character entity names. This will include the entities
defined here as well as those defined by "Added Latin 1".
