As UTF-8 files are preferred by PG, it is better to use the actual characters rather than entities for quotation marks and apostrophes in HTML files. Here are the characters and keyboard shortcuts:
Punctuation Mark | Character | Shortcut Windows | Shortcut Macintosh |
---|---|---|---|
Left Single Quotation Mark | ‘ | Alt-0145 | Opt-] |
Right Single Quotation Mark | ’ | Alt-0146 | Opt-Shift-] |
Left Double Quotation Mark | “ | Alt-0147 | Opt-[ |
Right Double Quotation Mark | ” | Alt-0148 | Opt-Shift-[ |
Apostrophe | ’ | Alt-0146 | Opt-] |
Left Angle Quotation Mark | « | Alt-0171 | Opt-\ |
Right Angle Quotation Mark | » | Alt-0187 | Opt-\ |
