Table Maker

Reserved Characters

When using HTML in your Table Maker content it’s not only important that it is entered correctly but also that you avoid using any characters which are reserved for use by the HTML language itself.

Some common characters which should not be used in Table Maker content include the less-than ( < ), greater-than ( > ), ampersand ( & ), quote ( " ), and apostrophe ( ' ) characters.

To use these characters in table content you should either replace them with Table Maker’s replacement characters or HTML entities, as shown in the chart.

See here for more information on HTML entities.

Ampersand & {{amp}} &amp; &#38;
