in reply to Game Nicknames to HTML

Not sure I understand your question, but if you're getting the string you quote from the game's output, there's nothing to prevent you from using your script (and, perhaps, use CGI; to simply feed it back out to the html, using non-interpolating (single) quotes. Even the § will appear, as is, with proper <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=..."> declarations and a reasonable (read, perhaps: Firefox) browser.

If the issue is more complex you may wish to edit your question by adding a bit more detail (identifying the update) and including existing code (within <c>...</c> tags.)

Update: Fixed typo in meta mention. And BTW, this is an example of properly marking an update of an existing node.

    Thanks ww
    I have tried it and it is still printing the whole string and not interpreting it.
    The page header has <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" /> in it and the table row looks like
    <TD align="center" class="normal">$s$5aaD$ddfia$5aaD$ddfe$5cc§</TD>
    Do you see any mistake in here?
    thanks, Thomas
