      Most unusual characters can be directly entered without any problems.

      If you do encounter problems, try using HTML character entities. A common example looks like &amp; for an ampersand & character. For a full list of entities see HTML's entities page. Some of the available characters include:

    • Get Amazon product data using [amazon ASIN selector], for example, [amazon 0399155341 thumbnail], [amazon 0399155341 full], or [amazon 0399155341 inline]. In addition, you can grab various data items from the item description using selectors like author, title, asin, detailpageurl, salesrank, publisher, manufacturer, studio, label, binding, listpriceamount, listpricecurrencycode, listpriceformattedprice, productgroup, producttypename, invalid_asin, deweydecimalnumber, edition, numberofpages, publicationyear, type, releaseyear, publicationyear, smallimage, smallimageurl, smallimageheight, smallimagewidth, mediumimage, mediumimageurl, mediumimageheight, mediumimagewidth, largeimage, largeimageurl, largeimageheight, largeimagewidth. For example, [amazon 0596515804 title] will provide the title of the item, and [amazon 0596515804 largeimage] will be replaced with an img tag giving the large image. A complete description of filters is on the Amazon module handbook page.
    • You can cite references directly into texts with <bib>citekey</bib> or [bib]citekey[/bib]. This will be replaced with a running number (the publication reference) and the publication referenced by the citekey within the <bib> tags will be printed at the bottom of the page (the reference).
