Homework 2 - Special Characters

For this assignment you will be creating a web page that has special characters in it. Name your file hw02.html and use Notepad to open, create, edit, and save it. Your web page must be uploaded to your neo account in order for me (and the world) to see it and for it to be graded.

• The web page should have a window title (up in the title bar) that reads hw02-USERNAME (except substitute your own Graceland username for USERNAME).
  
  
• The topmost largest size heading should read Special Character Codes.
  
  
• Below this heading is a minor heading that reads Popular Characters.
  
  
• Beneath this should be a paragraph with the first two columns of table 3.1 (page 24 of text). You are to use a series of   codes to get proper spacing to get the second column to have some distance from the first and to make them line up (it will not be exact, try your best). There will be 12 single spaced lines for this. It will be tricky because you will have to use the codes properly:
  &      &
  <       &lt;
  >       &gt;
  ...
  
  
• Beneath this is another minor heading that reads Math and Science symbols.
  
  
• Beneath this should be several lines of mathematical and chemistry formulas that show off your ability to create them with special character codes. You should have at least 5 different lines of forumlas and equations and they must include subscripts, superscripts, proper spacing, the Greek symbol for PI, and more. I suggest that you include the formula for the area of a circle and the chemical formula for water. Use Google or Wikipedia to find more formulas that you want to recreate in HTML codes. NOTE: make sure that superscripts and subscripts are right next to the preceding object and that spacing is appropriate throughout. For example, (x^a-5 + y¹⁰) is good but (x ^{a - 5}+y   ¹⁰) is not.
  
  
• Beneath this is another minor heading that reads More Fun with Symbols.
  
  
• Beneath this is a paragraph describing (in regular text) a series of other special symbols you want to show off. Be imaginative. Use your text book (Appendix C) to find some of these, but I also want you to use the web to find more. The text that you type here should describe what you found and/or where you found it followed by the symbol itself. I want at least 10 different types of symbols. By "different" I mean for you to have to go to different places or different sections of a large table of symbols. So don't just give me 10 Greek letters since I will count that as only one type of symbol. Try including Chinese, Korean, Cherokee, Hebrew, and iconic symbols for variety.

As before, and as always, I want you to verify that your web page is correct and fix things that are incorrect by going to http://validator.w3.org/
