How to code apostrophes in HTML?

Question

I'm the webmaster for a modest section of my employer's Intranet. I'm using HTML4.01 & CSS 2.1.

I know that the standard (UK) keyboard has the ' on the @ key. However, so far I have been using the rsquo entity name because it tends to look better.

Will that entity name cause screen readers a problem?

Does the standard ' work well in all contexts?

PS. How does one get an ampersand to display in questions like this? :-)

The named character reference &apos; (the apostrophe, U+0027) was introduced in XML 1.0 but does not appear in HTML. Authors should therefore use &#39 instead of &apos; to work as expected in HTML 4 user agents. I had to take the semi colon off because yahoo was converting it to the apostrophe so it will be & # 3 9 ; without the spaces

&_ #39; - apostrophe
&_amp; - ampersand
(without the underscore)

And no, they don't create problems with screen readers... as long as they can parse HTML correctly.
