-<h3>Using &ldquo;old-style&rdquo; figures</h3>
+<h3>Using &#8220;old-style&#8221; figures</h3>
<p/>These numbers are also called medieval or lowercase figures and their
use is mostly font-specific. Terminology is confusing since the
lining figures (which are now the default) are a relatively recent
development (19th century) and before they arrived, oldstyle figures
were the norm, even when setting mathematics. (An example is Thomas
-Harriot&rsquo;s <em>Artis Analyticae Praxis</em> published in 1631). In a
+Harriot&#8217;s <em>Artis Analyticae Praxis</em> published in 1631). In a
typical old style 3, 4, 5, 7 and 9 have descenders and 6 and 8 ascend
above the x-height; sometimes 2 will also ascend (this last seems to
be a variation associated with French typography).
<p/>LaTeX provides a command <code>\</code><code>oldstylenums{</code><em>digits</em><code>}</code>, which
-by default uses an old-style set embedded in Knuth&rsquo;s &lsquo;math italic&rsquo;
-font. The command isn&rsquo;t sensitive to the font style of surrounding

+font. The command isn&#8217;t sensitive to the font style of surrounding
text: the glyphs are only available to match the normal medium weight
Computer Modern Roman fonts.
<p/>The <i>textcomp</i> package changes <code>\</code><code>oldstylenums</code> to use the
glyphs in the Text Companion fonts (LaTeX TS1 encoding) when
in text mode, and also makes them available using the macros of the
-form <code>\</code><code>text&lt;number&gt;oldstyle</code>, e.g., <code>\</code><code>textzerooldstyle</code>.
+form <code>\</code><code>text&#60;number&#62;oldstyle</code>, e.g., <code>\</code><code>textzerooldstyle</code>.
(Of course, not all font families can provide this facility.)
<p/>Some font packages (e.g., <i>mathpazo</i>) make old-style figures
available and provide explicit support for making them the default:
<code>\</code><code>usepackage[osf]{mathpazo}</code> selects a form where digits are
always old-style in text. The <i>fontinst</i> package will

+<p/>It&#8217;s also possible to make virtual fonts, that offer old-style digits,
from existing font packages. The <i>cmolddig</i> bundle provides

+a such a virtual version of Knuth&#8217;s originals, and the <i>eco</i>
or <i>hfoldsty</i> bundles both provide versions of the EC
fonts. The <i>lm</i> family offers old-style figures to OpenType
users (see below), but we have no stable mapping for <i>lm</i>
with old-style digits from the Adobe Type 1 versions of the fonts.
<p/>Originally, oldstyle figures were only to be found the expert sets of
commercial fonts, but now they are increasingly widely available. An

Microsoft products and is intended for on-screen viewing).
