31. insertCharByName

Parameter syntax:

[ '[DocBook]' ]? [ S entity_name ]?

Inserts at caret position a character specified using its entity name.

If entity name is not specified, this command displays a dialog box (supports auto-completion) which allows to choose the entity name interactively.

If the [DocBook] option is specified, the set of character entities used by this command is always the set defined in the DocBook 4.2 DTD, whatever is the DTD or XML-Schema of the document being edited.

Unless the [DocBook] option is specified, this command cannot be executed if the document being edited has no DTD defining character entities.

Examples:

insertCharByName
insertCharByName ndash
insertCharByName [DocBook]
insertCharByName [DocBook] lambda
