Template:ASCII

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a reference to the 128 ASCII codes for programmer convienience. 

     It is not expected that it be included in anything, but act as a look-up at need for templates where hard coding of a character is needed to work around undesirable preprossing effects during the the parsing and expansion of a template line.

     Such codes can be entered using the format prefix='&#', Suffix=';' both sandwiched about the decimal code value like the examples:

" &# 126; -- &# 91; -- &# 93; -- &# 95; -- &# 123; -- &# 124; -- &# 125; " which produces the respective output gyphs (These, the most useful to preprocessor work arounds):

( "~ -- [ -- ] -- _ -- { -- | -- } ")

[edit] ASCII printable characters

Code 32, the "space" character, denotes the space between words, as produced by the large space-bar of a keyboard. Codes 33 to 126, known as the printable characters, represent letters, digits, punctuation marks, and a few miscellaneous symbols.

Seven-bit ASCII provided seven "national" characters and, if the combined hardware and software permit, can use overstrikes to simulate some additional international characters: in such a scenario a backspace can precede a grave accent (which the American and British standards, but only those standards, also call "opening single quotation mark"), a tilde, or a breath mark (inverted vel).
