VaporAction Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 this is a simple question but I haven't had luck finding an answer yet...why do people sometimes use special characters (&91; and &93;) for square brackets?they seem to display fine without the special characters...so what's the story?

justsomeguy Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 I've never had a reason to encode things like that. Chances are that whoever created the page did so with a program (like Frontpage or Dreamweaver) that would convert most non-alphanumeric characters, regardless of whether or not it actually needed to.
