(As well as š (s-caron) sometimes.......)

Someone (Wm Annis I think) recently recommended http://www.htmlhelp.com/
where I learned that s-caron can be represented in html as either & Scaron;
or &# 352; (caps.), lower case & scaron; or &# 353;-- is this correct?  (I
also had the numbers reversed in the first post) (There is properly of
course no space after the ampersand or ampersand#).
I know that Alt 0154 doesn't always work-- it does on my browser, but
Validator said no-no.
