Can you tell me how to make accent marks over the e? can I put it inside another HTML tag such as an italics tag?

Testing: é

é

Use the six-character sequence:
& # 2 3 3 ;

In many browser/etc. combinations, it's possible to simply type é
directly into the text box, too. I don't know how to key that in
generally, but I can cut/paste it from other sources, and our use
the "character map" function in Windows.

Table of other & # sequences. (http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/sgml/entities.html)

é - & eacute ; (take out the spaces after the & and before the ; for all of these)
É - & Eacute ;
è - & egrave ;
È - & Egrave ;

There's a handy list of various HTML 4 entities like this at http://www.htmlhelp.com/reference/html40/entities/
