Video Transcript

"Hello, my name is Eric White and today we're going to talk about how to use an apostrophe inside your HTML. Now, typically what can happen if you're using some sort of web page development software and it encodes using utf eight, then it could be a problem if you don't put the meta tag for the apostrophe, or for your encoding. So, what happens is you get this garbled, weird looking text instead of the actually apostrophe. So, when you run into that problem, what you'll want to do is add this meta tag right here. And that's the open your less than tag symbol for meta, and then meta space http, hyphen, eqiv, that's E-Q-I-V equals, and then open quote, content dash type, close quote, space content equal, open quote text, forward slash HTML, semicolon, charset equals utf dash eight. And then go ahead and close your tag. And then go ahead and put your regular HTML in, whatever you want to say down here. Make sure this meta tag is up in the head section of your HTML. Now, I'm going to go ahead and close this and we'll open it up and it says "I'm feeling especially wonderful today," and notice the apostrophe is just right. And that's how you use an apostrophe in HTML."
