I notice when I am coding xml I get unintended results typically associated with punctuation. Example; I type in & to produce the & symbol. Can you give me a link of all of the English punctuation and their associated text codes to be used with xml? If it matters I specifically code for the Dungeons and Dragons 5E ruleset.

XML only has five (5) named entities (https://xml.silmaril.ie/specials.html). Which seems easy enough to remember, right? Only five? Yet people (including myself) have so much trouble remembering them. I've given up, and just use the numeric codes now. 38 for the ampersand, for example.

Please can you keep all of these many related questions in a single thread. They are all basically related to the same topic. We're trying to avoid other recent topics in the same sub-forum from being shuffled out of page 1 based off lots and lots of threads with a very similar topic. Thanks!
