A very handy widget
Stuck for an HTML entity reference? Just can’t get your ampersands and hash signs in the right order?
This dashboard widget is for you (also available as a web utility for those who are Dashboard-challenged). Simply plug in the entity you need the correct reference code for, hit return, and see what you get back. Very useful; I like stuff like this, and as the inventor says:
There’s no clever logic behind this, only the most powerful computer known to man—man’s own brain.
Each entity has had a list of ‘like’ matches added to them by hand and eye. This is stored in a local dictionary file and loaded in during start-up (since it’s so small there’s no point in using an AJAX like solution).
(This means you can use the tool off-line as well). Read more: Left Logic: HTML Entity Character Lookup.
