1. I am looking which HTML CODE is AS GENERAL AS POSSIBLE (i.e. independant of platform and browser).
2. To be more explicit :
2.a) I am writing HTML code which I would like to run on ALL possible platforms (PC, Mac, UNIX, …) and browsers (Safari, IE, Netscape, …) or at least as many as possible.
2.b) I use as well hyphens (in names with hyphens for hyphenation, etc.) as en-dashes - for a comment within a text like this one - and also em-dashes for dialogues like the next one :
- Am i more clear this time?
- Yes, thank you for this exhaustive exlanations.
2.c) So I am wondering which of the 3 codes (see #3) is most suited to run on AS MANY platforms and browsers. I.e. to have a maximum chance my code will display correctly whatever the machine or browser used.
3. in case of a en-dash I found 3 possibilities on the internet :
3.a) & # 8 2 1 1 ;
3.b) & # 1 5 0 ;
3.c) & n d a s h ;
Which one sould I use?
Hoping to be udnerstood,
sincerely,
Sono
PS : of course the en-dash is only an example; My future website is in french so there are many, many codes to replace all accents, diphtongs etc.
