    If you do encounter problems, try using HTML character entities. A common example looks like &amp; for an ampersand & character. For a full list of entities see HTML's entities page. Some of the available characters include:

    • Wraps ampersands (the $ldquo;&” character) with <span class=\"amp\">&</span>.
    • Prevents single words from wrapping onto their own line using Shaun Inman's Widont technique.
    • Converts straight quotation marks to typographer's quotation marks, using SmartyPants.
    • Converts multiple hyphens to en dashes and em dashes (according to your preferences), using SmartyPants.
    • Wraps multiple capital letters with <span class=\"caps\">CAPS</span>.
    • Wraps initial quotation marks with <span class=\"quo\"></span> or <span class=\"dquo\"></span>.
    • Adds a css style sheet that uses the <span> tags to substitute a showy ampersand in headlines, switch caps to small caps, and hang initial quotation marks.
