Cheat Sheets

Now I’m sorry, but if you’re going to write a help sheet or reference guide, it’s better to at least use the correct title for the thing you’re doing a reference on.
They’re NOT “& commands” – they’re HTML entities. OK, technically they’re just entities, but I thought I’d specify a bit. I’ve used them in XML, SGML, HTML, and probably a couple of other MLs as well.
But to call them by entirely the wrong name, well, it’s hardly going to reassure me that you know what the chuff you’re talking about, is it?
