The special characters token used to display any ASCII character is &#  followed by the number representing this character's ASCII code (a full list of ASCII codes can be found in the appendices).

 

Some examples :

 

&#147

Opening Double Quote

&#148

Closing Double Quote

&#145

Opening Single Quote

&#146

Closing Single Quote

&#133

Ellipsis

&#149

Bullet

&#176

Degree Mark

&#134

Dagger

 

Although you can cut and paste many of the above characters from QuarkXPress or InDesign or MS-Word into any of the Q++Studio dialogs, these characters often appears as a square or thick vertical line which, when many such characters are used, may lead to confusion. Using this token ensures that the characters used are obvious at all times.
