[Nfb-web] §§, What characters

[Jeremiah B. Beasley]

Hey Peter

You would want to use § in you html This will produce one § so if you 
want two just use it twice.  I don't know how to get it from the keyboard. 
I hope this helps.  I found this info on 
http://www.utexas.edu/learn/html/spchar.html.

"There is only one way for the blind to achieve first-class citizenship and 
true equality. It must be done through collective action and concerted 
effort; and that means the National Federation of the Blind. There is no 
other way, and those who say otherwise are either uninformed or unwilling to 
face the facts." - Dr. Kenneth Jernigan

Subject: [Nfb-web] §§, What characters


Good evening everyone,

    I'm in the middle of marking up a Web page for our Tennessee Affiliate
which contains legal references. Rather than spelling out section a
character is used to represent this word in the legal notation, (§§.)What
character on the keyboard does one press to produce this symbol? I
accidentally deleted the §§symbol in several places and would like to fix it
to where the §§    symbol is used. There may also be an HTML Tag to
represent this symbol so if anyone on either list knows it please let me
know.

I have also seen §§  written as Sec. sec, or when all else fails spelling
the word, "section" out. Since I expect to be marking up lots of Web pages
which contain legal notation this information would be helpful. Thanks in
advance.

Peter Donahue
