Thank you! Very good info. No need for curly entities anymore since now I've memorized that they don't need 'em.

I will certainly study this table and thak you for the info on UTF-8.

I'm building a database for a wine merchant and I'm worrying about how to search/input accented characters and the OE. There are problems with Japanese keyboards and fonts for this, so I am thinking about converting OE to the entity on display, but to ignore accents when searching. Of course I'm probably going to write Word/PDF so that's a different story maybe.

About the <img> tag, yes the danger of porn uploads is obvious but seriously we could make very good use of diagrams, and we often talk about diagramming, so I would think that if l33t porn jokes is the danger then it should be connected to level privileges. Perhaps there is a security or diskspace/bandwidth problem with uploads, but I'm going to think about putting images on my server to go along with posts, if necessary to the discussion. Can't think of one now, though it might have been useful recently talking about Quantum:: in Ovid's thread.
