I use "<<b>blockquote>"
To get "<blockquote>"
much easier than ASCII
GREAT advice though.

Lol how is that easier? < actually saves you from typing three additional characters
Anyway, thanks!

I guess its easier for me because I can never remember ASCII (even the simple ones)

Might be easier than my use of between everything. I don't like spaces or replace the * ones, since too much chance for error and the user asks for help. (I used this, now if only I will remember it vs remembering an alt key code)

Oh right, is not a bad idea either! But I guess the ASCII method is the 'more elegant' way, as it's less to type and doesn't add any further (non-semantic) HTML elements which could eventually increase the browser rendering time. And I definitely agree on your point regarding all the other methods; they often lead to confusion for the people that have no HTML experience at all.

Haha same here, I think I also know a few by heart, let me see⦠&rt; is the opposite of <, & is a questionmark, is a spacebar that is treated as a normal character, and A/a is where the capital/non-capital alphabet starts. Together with < itself, that's six codes I can think of right now. Which is, well, certainly improvable.

& I like the word ampersand.

Whoops, actually I checked for any existing deviations regarding this, but yours seems to have slipped my eyes thenβ¦
Anyway, I totally agree, this is one of those little tricks that definitely deserve more attention. So regardless of who posts about it, we can only hope that the word will eventually be spreaded.
