Web developer markup view should have an entity tooltip as appropriate.

It should look something like this (screenshot courtesy of Lea Verou).

The code she uses for her previews is at https://github.com/LeaVerou/dabblet/blob/master/code/previewers.js

She says that if we use her code (with changes) we should credit her in the file header.

Maybe the tooltip could even allow to change the entity by offering a list of entities (e.g. like the Character Map in Windows).

See bug 967493 comment 7: doing this in the markup view isn't possible. The markup view represents the DOM tree that's in memory, and at this stage, entities have already been converted.

We could do this, however, in the rule view, for "content" properties. However "content" does not accept entities, but will render unicode:

content: "\2665";

Maybe we could have a tooltip for those.

Note that Firebug has a feature like this, more precisely it has a way to switch the display of all entities to symbols, names or Unicode representation. As Firebug's HTML panel is also based on the in-memory DOM tree, it does not consider whether the characters were authored as HTML entities or not.
