Insert special characters

Use this procedure to insert non-standard characters into your text.

The Special Inserts view lets you insert special characters directly into the XML document, without having to type in escape characters or look up hexadecimal codes.
  1. Open the topic in your XMetaL editor.
  2. Place the cursor where you want to insert a special character.
  3. Open the Special Inserts view. You can either:
    • On the View toolbar, click the Special Character button Insert Special Character icon
    • From the menu bar, select XML Document > Insert > Special Character...
    The Special Inserts view opens, with the Special Character option enabled.
  4. Double-click the required character.
The special character is inserted into the editor at the cursor's location.
