====== Entities ======

[[DokuWiki]] can convert various character combinations to their typographical equivalent.

e.g. <code>
<<  to « 
>>  to » 
=>  to ⇒
</code>

see also [[wiki:syntax#typography]].

Details of the conversions are stored in the ''conf/entities.conf'' file.  You can add your own entity conversions by creating a ''conf/entities.local.conf'' file and placing your conversions in that file.  It is possible to modify Dokuwiki's ''conf/entities.conf'' file, however this could result in your changes being overwritten when upgrading Dokuwiki.

====== Examples ======

> It seems that it is possible to use this table to adapt DokuWiki to some French typography rules that necessitate non-breaking spaces before or after some punctuation marks. For example, in the ''conf/entities.conf'' file, I write rules like this:

  << &laquo;&nbsp;
  ? &nbsp;?
  : &nbsp;:
  ! &nbsp;!
  ; &nbsp;;
