# htmlent: HTML entities

A simple data package with HTML entities, downloaded from 

[this page](https://dev.w3.org/html5/html-author/charref).

## Installation

You can install htmlent from GitHub with:

```{r gh-installation, eval = FALSE}

# install.packages("devtools")

devtools::install_github("tjmahr/htmlent")

```

## Example

I am writing some RMarkdown, and I want to express a statistic as the mean

plus-minus the standard deviation. I can never remember the entity for the

plus-minus character, so I have to look it up online.

Not anymore. I can just get the entity by using RStudio's autocompletion on the

`htmlent` object. I type `htmlent::ents$` then hit `tab` to bring up the

autocompletion and type `plus-m` and find it.

```{r example}

htmlent::ents$`plus-minus sign`

```

### Might as well make a dataframe of them all

```{r}

df <- tibble::data_frame(

  symbol = unlist(htmlent::ents),

  entity = paste0("`", symbol, "`"),

  name = names(htmlent::ents)

)

  

knitr::kable(df)

```
