什么是转义字符

HTML中 <, >, & 等有特殊含义(<, >, 用于链接签, &用于转义), 不能直接使用. 这些符号是不显示在我们最终看到的网页里的. 这就要使用到 HTML转义字符串(Escape Sequence)了.

转义字符串的来源

转义字符串(Escape Sequence)也称字符实体(Character Entity). 在HTML中, 定义转义字符串的原因有两个:

  1. 像 “<” 和 “>” 这类符号已经用来表示HTML标签, 因此就不能直接当作文本中的符号来使用. 为了在HTML文档中使用这些符号, 就需要定义它的转义字符串. 当解释程序遇到这类字符串时就把它解释为真实的字符. 在输入转义字符串时, 要严格遵守字母大小写的规则.
  2. 有些字符在ASCII字符集中没有定义, 因此需要使用转义字符串来表示.

转义字符串的组成

转义字符串(Escape Sequence), 即字符实体(Character Entity)分成三部分: 第一部分是一个 & 符号, 英文叫 ampersand ; 第二部分是实体(Entity)名字或者是#加上实体(Entity)编号; 第三部分是一个分号.

比如,要显示小于号 “<”, 就可以写 &lt; 或者 &#60; .

用实体(Entity)名字的好处是比较好理解, 一看lt, 大概就猜出是 less than 的意思, 但是其劣势在于并不是所有的浏览器都支持最新的Entity名字. 而实体(Entity)编号, 各种浏览器都能处理.

tips

实体名称(Entity)是区分大小写的.
同一个符号, 可以用 “实体名称” 和 “实体编号” 两种方式引用, “实体名称” 的优势在于便于记忆, 但不能保证所有的浏览器都能顺利识别它, 而 “实体编号” 则没有这种担忧, 但它实在不方便记忆.

JavaScript转义符

转义序列 字符
\b 退格
\f 走纸换页
\n 换行
\r 回车
\t 横向跳格 (Ctrl-I)
' 单引号
" 双引号
\\ 反斜杠

tips

编程的时候要注意特殊字符的问题,很多运行时出现的问题都是因为特殊字符的出现而引起的。
由于反斜杠本身用作转义符, 因此不能直接在脚本中键入一个反斜杠. 如果要产生一个反斜杠, 必须一起键入两个反斜杠(\\).
