Introduction

TML provides the capability to define custom character entities. TML character entities take the same form as standard HMTL character entities. For example, &myEntity; will insert the custom Template or string associated with myEntity.

The built-in entities are defined in the charEntity.js file. When TML encounters an entity string, it inserts a CharEntity component that will extract the entity’s value (a string, a Template object, or an array of string and/or Template objects) and insert it as its contents. Many, but not all, standard HTML entities are supported.

Some entities have slightly different names for clarity.
